Thanks. I was aware of that and of course with complex band names like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (and yes it needs to be typed that accurately) to find that band’s albums is you type more than just ‘Crosby’, I have learned to do that. The Sigur Ros example for me however highlights how the UI is simply not working well for how real humans search for things. I was totally baffled for a bit as to why it found nothing when I typed Sigur Ros. I even had to go and look at the files on my computer to check I wasn’t losing my mind about the music I thought I had stored. Given I’m not highly technical (like most people I might add) I think it’s expected now that a search engine is more sophisticated in its capabilities than I now realise MinimServer is and that is out of step with the way most people look for digital music to play.
