Multiple libraries
I am ripping my CDs to folders on a NAS drive, which is accessed from my Node X using the Android app. I have folders for Pop, Jazz etc with subfolders in each by artist and then subfolders of those for each album.
If I want to play some jazz music I want to browse through the jazz artists. I don't want to see Coltrane (jazz) next to Coldplay (pop), for example. Otherwise one single list of artists will be huge.
I would like to create multiple libraries, one for each type of music. This could either be by having one share going to MyNAS\Pop and another to MyNAS\Jazz (so multiple shares, each with one library), or by having a mechanism to set up multiple libraries on one share. It would be a bonus to be able to allocate each library a friendly name too. Then on the Home screen I could select each library just like I can select from a list of radio stations etc

Oops! I just tried it again and it does indeed work. When I tried before, the Genre > Artist and Genre > Album views seemed to be exactly the same as the standard Artist and Albums views, with everything shown. Now it does seem to be showing just the correct artist and albums. Maybe they changed/fixed it in one of the recent updates.

.... Or just use the "genre" when you're tagging the files.

In general the idea of different libraries is good. I have a different use case. I have 2 librraries. One with musik and one with audiobooks. When I shuffle the play, it makes no sense to add here audiobook files.
The idea with the 2 librraries is, wenn I select the music library, everything is like today, But when I select the audiobook library, I have some additional functions and some function that I never need.
