I am agree with you, this very difficult to us to play our music
collection on a intuitive (folder view) way. Of course, the new
MythMusic developers did a great work with the plugin.

Is it possible to use the old (0.24) plugin on the 0.26 core? Or could
someone know how to use a easy folder view plugin or 3rd party
software on our Myth boxes?

I don't need any search or playlist option, I just want to navigate on
my music collection and play a folder (album) or a single song.

Thanks for your comments on this item.

Regards.
