New Search Feature

Colby,

The new search function works great. I was going to ask if there was any way to display all tracks from all Discs in one window. Then I remembered one of those undocumented features that I discovered (a few years ago) while using the SEARCH command in DEC's VAX VMS operating system. If you want the SEARCH to find every single record in a text file, you just search the file for a null character (by using the NUMBER option of the SEARCH command, this type of search was used to automatically number every line of the text file).

Using this technique, your CDJ Search function can be used to dispay all tracks of all Discs in the library, by doing a track search with the following query:

title=""

The pair of double quotes are used to specify the null character in the search.

Dave
