Feature: Search thru playlist

[riahc3]

First thing I want to say is that Winamp is handsdown the best media player. No question and end of topic.




To make it absolutely perfect, one small features is needed. Ill call it Winamp Media Search. Some of us have playlists that go into the 10000 songs long and maybe we want to look for a specific one without scrolling thru. Here is when Winamp Media Search comes in. This sort of works like Windows Live Messenger contact search, Windows Desktop Search and Vista's search. Lets say we are looking for the hiphop song Ether by Nas off the Stillmatic album which was released in 2000. In a text box, below the playlist, we put in the word "Nas" and Winamp searches thru the ID3v1/v2 tags and the files names of everything in our playlist and filters everything that matches (artist, file name, etc) "Nas" by putting everything that matches on top (possibly with a different color) and everything that has little or no relevence to the search on the bottom. When we clear the text box everything goes back to normal and the original order is restored. Next we put "Nas 1999" and thru ID3v1v2 tags it filters out every song by Nas in 1999.
Then by putting something like "Nas stillmatic ether" we should get the song filtered out completely alone in our playlist. I think its the only addition necessary to make Winamp perfect.
