deleting pre-defined queries possible?

RE: deleting pre-defined queries possible?
I also am using folder view only to navigate through my music library. The virtual folders like Tracks, Artists, Albums are too huge for me. I could use Artist A-Z instead, but there would be no advantage for me. Also I have a "lab" directory with music from friends. These tracks are not tagged properly. So I need to use the folder view to go though this directory. (I am using this directory for exploring new music. If I find an album that I like, I buy it as flac and put it in my real music directory. With qobuz sublime these days the "lab" has lost its sense somehow.) The music in my "real" music directory are sorted into 5 genres. As I know where to look for an artist, I find the music quite quickly in most cases.

But even without using the virtual tag folders it does make sense to use minimserver instead of the Synology media server:
* Transcoding flac to wav gaplessly(!) on the fly.
* Displaying of album covers in the folder view. (I am only missing covers for the artist folders. I think I have to write a small script to symlink the latest (or oldest?) album cover.jpgs as folder.jpg in the artist folder.)
* Support for UPnP search. I am not using it very frequently, but sometimes it is really helpful. Also this offers the random track functionality in BubbleUPnP.
* Loading of cover art is quicker and the covers are sharper than with the synology media server.

I am sure that I have missed some benefits in this list.

Unfortunately I have to turn off the ">>" subfolders that offer the virtual tagging folders for the current directory subtree because the naim app does not work ok with these turned on. (But I did forget what the problems are that occur.)
