an addition to the filtering
 

i think you guys should consider adding another filter to the left side of the screen once you perform a search, that allows you to filter bitrate, lots of friends and myself only download certain bit-rate songs

one other thing
 

i just wanted you guys to know i dont or understand all the technical differences between this version and past versions, but i recieve like 5 times teh search results with this version compared to any past one. im loving it :) congrats!

Hi JeremyCDay -- Thanks for the compliments. :)

You can already choose to filter by bitrate by right-clicking or double-clicking on the filter's title and choosing Audio -> Bitrate (or any other kind of filter you want).

Let us know if there's anything visually that would make this more obvious.

Thanks!

Ha.. good idea Jeremy, sorting by bitrates in the search panel would be truly great!
So I give it +1 ;)

Bonne soirée

yeah im aware of the clicking on the title to organize by bitrate, i guess the point i was going after is theres some of us that know tthat no matter what they dont want a version of a song with a bit rate less then x (x being whatever you want it to be :) ) so by providing a way even if its a filter that only has 2 choices like 192 kbps and above and less then 192 kbps, it still would provide a similar innovative experience like the feature you guys just implemented in 3.9.2... as to where it goes from here who knows, just fiugred id set the idea on the table, possibly have it implemented in a beta and listen for peoples feedback on the idea

Just to clarify -- I didn't mean clicking on the bitrate column in the search results. I meant double-clicking or right-clicking on the title of the new filters on the left hand side (the titles of one of the three boxes, which for Audio searches default to Genre, Artist, and Album). You can change those filters -- for example, I routinely set them to Vendor, Speed and Type while debugging.

However, those filters are limited to only a single choice -- so you could limit your search results to displaying only bitrate 192 files (but it wouldn't include anything above 192). There are definite benefits to allowing a "greater than / less than" kind of filter. Unfortunately, the interface for such a feature is less than clear. Would the box that currently lists the possible choices instead be a panel that lets the user choose "equal to, greater than or less than" and then a specific number? If we can pin something down, this would be useful for file sizes as well...

Depending on how long it takes to work on some other features and how hard this is to conceptualize and code, it may or may not make it into the final release. We'll keep it in mind for future additions to the filtering system, though, if it isn't immediately included.

thats actually really close to something i was looking for being able to richgt click on that, its good that you in your last post brought it up, so maybe others that read this thread will learn about it too and spread the word :-P thanks for clarifying what you meant :)

Yes, the filter boxes. They're terrible annoying, and take up too much space. Need to be able to disable the feature

We'll be adding an option to turn them off in a future beta. It will most likely be in the View menu, as one of the Show/Hide options or as a seperate 'Enable/Disable Search Filters' item.

In the search results, when a line item has "multiple sources" available, I can not find a way to list the discreet sources any more.

There used to be a button/check box a few versions back, that went away, but double-clicking the roll-up item "opened" it and displayed the hosts.

Now double-clicking the item no longer works.
