Music

What direction is Plex taking in regards to music? I have a nice collection of music sorted by iTunes and I like that Plex can access it, but I think that it is subpar as far as features are concerned. It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution for my media needs, but I know the priority around here is with video. Do you plan on improving on this, particularly the iOS app?



Here are a few suggestions:

[]Sort by Album Artist, not Artist. A lot of people use the artist tag to include featured artists. Sorting by artist will result in a huge amount of artists, especially with hip-hop.

[
]Playlists, playlists, playlists. This is big for us music fans. There needs to be a nice and easy way to add to either a currently playing playlist and/or a random playlist. Amazon Cloud Player does a good job of this.

When you select an artist and view their albums, I think there should be a picture of the artist in the background and maybe a short biography. Also, the albums could be in a CD case. As they are they just look plain.
