"Composer" column in Media Library

David65682 · 9th March 2006, 05:28

I realize that this is already included in the official wishlist, and I apologize for reposting it. However, I feel that the lack of the option for a "Composer" column in the Media Library is a major omission, and one of the few things that iTunes has over Winamp. I also bring it up only because it has been on the wishlist virtually since the release of Winamp 5.

Thank you for your attention.

I want to agree with this wish. As I commented here it might be useful that people stepped up and posted their opinion here about the composer column (which should make it searchable and it should be added - at least as an option - to the 'artist' listing view, too).

I agree that the composer column would be extremely helpful in organizing classical music. I've started to move my collection of CDs to the computer, and have yet to find a way to organize them that consistently works. A separate composer column would do the trick.

...I have moved many of my CDs to my computer with Winamp as my organization tool. I like to organize by Producer/Composer and I feel it would be an asset.

I too would like to see a composer column. I was about to make WinAmp rather than iTunes my music player, but about half of my library is classical. When I am in the mood for some Bach, I have to be able to search on Bach. This is really a surprising omission IMHO.

It's part of the Wishlist, so no need for repeating the same request again and again.

Winamp's dev team is small, media library needs Unicode support and the database system maybe will change to SQLLite. Also some bugs are in the library too, e.g. in the query builder isEmpty or IsnotEmpty doesn't work.

Some things have higher priority, but since it's listed in the wishlist, I'm sure, that the column will be added in a future release.
