Bug in this feature

What would you expect it to do? Artist/album can be browsed for with the Browse pane, and song brings you to the album with the song selected. But what would composer do? There's no way to browse by composer.

Of course, some would say it should be. As it stands, composer isn't very useful for that exact reason.

So why is there an arrow there? If it doesn't do anything it shouldn't appear. To be fair, Apple isn't making this arrow-function-switching feature mainstream (no GUI preference for it), and perhaps this is one reason.

well, they do let you browse by composer on the iTMS, or so it seems... mostly what I get when I do that is the song itself highlighted, and the album it was released on. Not exactly a "show me everything by that composer" result is it....!

That said, it does seem a bug to me as well. If I have Composer in my view list, I can "sort" by composer, so it seems just as with the other items, I should be able to create a 'common list' of songs by the same composer simply by clicking the button...

I mean, isn't this just a database after all, and these buttons "filtered queries"?

I agree with the original poster. Although you can't sort in the Browse Mode by composer, clicking the arrow button next to Composer in the view list should result in a filtered list by that composer....

my 2-cents ;)

peace,
tribalogical
