Genre problem

Milkerman - Thanks for the reply. 

The problem is as follows. When the Clip sorts by genre, it then requires one to drill down in the menus via Artist and Album fields to the individual tracks. But with Genre, having then to sub-select according to Album or Artist isn’t necessarily helpful and in some instances is meaningless. For example, if I’ve loaded podcasts or mp3 files of radio talk shows, or radio dramas, or speeches/lectures, forcing one to navigate via Album or Artist makes little sense.

Offering other fields as sorting tools would be helpful (my old Rio also had a “Year” field).

Basically, I find the Artist / Album / Genre sorts on the Clip clunky. There are so many “Unknown” hits when you haven’t filled in specific fields in the tags that it requires many button presses to drill down to all the content. It’s not a deal-breaker, just annoying and sometimes confusing.
