Re: Itunes ...

["Mal Lansell" <mal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, ignore my ramblings.  I must be having a blonde day.
Scrolling down a little in the settings/main menu section showed an
option for "genre on/off".  Turning that on gives me what I need
-
selecting genre fromt main menu gave me a list of artists, and
choosing the artist led to the albums.  Perfect.

Now all I need to do is get MCE to do the same, and to get my ID3
tags sorted :-)

Cheers

Mal
