and...

don't miss my requests in my sig, and let me add that album art lookup truly sux, and needs big time improvement (like VA art eg), and that a user should be able to specify album art icon size if they want to in prefs, and that a user should be able to do a large icon view where NO text is seen, which is how the mockup is done on your homepage, (with bigger than possible art btw, and "dashboard" still showing).

don't get me wrong guys, i love winamp! just trying to make it better!

Hehe. And I've long thought that there NEEDS to be a HASALBUMART in the ML Query Language to allow people to easily filter out all the files without art in the Simple Album Art view, and I believe it would be a fairly easy task to accomplish, but alas, no luck as yet
Keep hope alive though, brother. Our days might come
