    Default 'Various' in the browse by Artist view

    It would be helpful to have 'Various' highlighted in some fashion in the Artist browse view, so it's easier to find. In large collections, finding the 'Various' entry can get tedious if you need it a lot. I have quite a number of compilations and most of them get dumped here.

    Thanks.

    I agree on this. It would be good to have 'Various Artists' highlighted and/or always as the first artist in the list. I also have a lot of soundtrack CDs wich I have given artist name 'Soundtrack'. Maybe it could be highligthed in the same way too.

    An ideal solution would be a limited range of format options as part of the Properties page that appears when one right-clicks an item in the Content tree and then selectes Properties from that menu. I don't know whether that's practical or not. A quick look at MSDN and it looks like you'd have to handle paint messages for the items in the controls to set their attributes, which might be a lot of additional work.
