Feature Request/Idea: Multiple Music Collections
Hi

I very much like your implementation of the folder view with the tag view. i have a specific use-case for it, but at the moment its cumbersome. i have music collections of multiple persons, e.g. the parents have other music then the childern have. so they want to browser "their" music, but still sometimes would like to access the music of the others or the "whole" collection of all of them. on the disk this looks like the following:
-root
-- father
-- mother
-- daughter
-- son
-- common

each one has all his music in their folder, and music that they "share" is in the common folder. so with the help of the folder-tag-view i can go to one of the family members folder and i have the same view on that collection as if it would be a separate instance of minim running for that collection.

what it makes cumbersome to navigate through is that to select the collection of e.g. the father i have the following steps:
choose minim server -> folder view -> father -> tag view -> father

it would be great if there would be a direct path to that, e.g.
minim -> tag view -> father
...or if it even would be configurable to have a top/root view of the upnp server like:

ALL
father
mother
daugther
son
common

so first you always have to select "which collection" you want to browser and then you have the normal view with the items/albums etc...

it's the first upnp server that i found that i could imagine something like that would be possible :-)

and yes, i know that i could just run multiple instances of minim, but this way it would use less ressources and would be "sexier" ;-)
