i am really enjoying this feature. It's really well implementebrings I love finding similar albums and artists. Bravo Naim!

Agreed!  

 

I do wish that it had a search capability though.  Right now, as far as I can tell, we can either use the Info button for the currently playing album, or we can browse the artist's discography or follow the links to similar artists.  All that is nice, but I would like to be able to see the full booklet for any album, whether or not it is currently playing.  IMO, a text field for entering artist and/or album would be a welcome addition!

Hi Hook But I thought there was a search feature. I'm sure I was using it the other day. Either that, or I'm going mad. Can't confirm for sure as I'm sat on a train. Cheers Ian

Hi Ian - 

 

That's why I said "as far as I can tell", because I can't find one for the life of me!

 

There is the "not my album" search list, but that requires you to first play an album, and even then, all you can search through is a name list of close matches...

 

When you get home, if you can point me in the direction of a search field, I would be grateful!

Hi Hook Just checked. You have to be in the play screen (rather than library) with something selected but you don't have to be playing anything. If you hit the 'i' icon then hit the magnifying glass icon you get a search screen and can go from there. Hope that helps! Cheers Ian

Oh my, that magnifying glass icon is on every page of every booklet, and I never thought once to select it!    Thanks for the pointer Ian -- this will definitely come in handy!

Well I've never used it (the search feature) either but now I know it's there -- thanks to you two!

 

The Rovi info can be entertaining and informative.  It adds to what you might read on Wikipedia about any given album.

Seems to be in library view too, once you're viewing an album...
