Hi
I've got thousands of songs on my server. If I sort by title, I have ~1000 titles beginning with "A" which makes navigation on my streaming device a real pain.
I desperately need a feature to build an alphabetical tree not only by the first letter but even 2nd or 3rd of a song title.
E.g., to get the title "All along the watchtower" I would navigate down the tree by selecting "Titles", then "A". Here I would receive another alphabetical tree by 2nd letter, "AA", "AB", "AC", etc.. I could go to "AL" and would then receive all songs beginning with "AL".
If this is not feasible, I've got to change the server. I heard that mediatomb is providing this - anybody got some experiences?
Navigation Tree - no support for large media collections?

Why not use some sort of grouping instead of one large list of single music-files? Sorting by Album and or Artist, subdivided in alpha-numerical groups?
I use a tree with Artist/Album, with 3 character per Artist-branch:
Artist A-C --> Albums per Artist
Artist D-F --> Albums per Artist
etc
