This is for foobar users using the library.

To add new music to your library you don't have to rescan the whole library.

Use windows explorer or foobar's file operation dialog to move your files to your fooobar library monitored folder. Then just drag those files into a foobar playlist. Foobar will see that they're in your library folder but not in the current database and add them.

There is an Album list panel you could add to your columns ui layout.

scroll down to where it says album list panel.

Thanks for this thread - I've been meaning to post some simple tips (not tons of config coding) - I'm in the process of writing up a how-to and will post a link here when it's done. Getting a simple Columns ui setup is very helpful.

hmmm it seems to capitalize prepositions even when they are the last word in a title with parenthesis for something like (feat. artist) such as
"Got My Mind Made up (Feat. Dat Nigga Daz, Kurupt, Method Man & Redman)"
