Bug Description

Massive miller column regression.

Genres and Albums are gone with no ability to re-add them. This pretty makes the column pointless and view switching mandatory.

I believe the current plan is to add another vertical pane like the Artist pane but for Albums. I don't think Genres will be reimplemented for several reasons: genres are rarely encoded into the metadata correctly and search is a much better way to find a general type of music.

Changed in beat-box:
importance: Undecided → High
milestone: none → 1.0

Yeah, Genres are horribly tagged in metadata. Some of mine are tagged "Alternative Rock", others "AlternRock" or "Altern (space) Rock". This confuses the user and just creates lots of extra things in the genre view. It's much simpler to not have them visible at all, since the majority of people don't use genres to browse their music.

Maybe if you pirate all your music that's the case, but all my genres are just peachy thanks and I do use them and I'm sure many others use them as well. I'm not sure where this idea of "people dont use genres" is coming from but it's nonsense.

Additionally, search is not helpful here. If I search for "Bossa Nova" I will return 0 of my Bossa Nova tracks, but I will return a soundtrack piece from the Legend of Zelda and an electronic song with that phrase in the track name.
