Spark improvements

[Johnnydev]

I´m curious to see what sort of improvements you guys would like to see in future versions of Spark. Maybe make a Top 5 list prioritised?

1. Sort "album artist" when listing by Album.  This allows compilations to show up properly.

2. Allow GENRE sorting and FOLDER sorting.

1. Remove the "empty" view once click Artists. I want to click Adele and go straight into a list of her albums. Not another "click" to go to her albums. I find this completely useless. Is there any use at all here?

Great idea.  Any time there is only ONE result (artist being common), it should skip ahead.

2. Ability to create playlists within Spark. 

Yup!

3. Better coverart quality.

It's inconsistent.  It doesn't seem to open up all of the folder.jpg or cover.jpg files.  Beyond 1Kx1K resolution, Spark should be "lazy" and just try to display whatever the dimensions are and downscale as appropriate.

4. Ability to LOVE or LIKE songs or Albums.

Which gets back to the playlist idea.

5. Ability to rightclick artist and "Play all"

Yes!

Actually, I would like to do away with Spark altogether for other than setup. For selecting and playing music, why do we need to insert a new interface between the source (e.g., iTunes, Tidal, and locally saved music files) and the speakers?

For iTunes/Tidal, you can use Bluetooth from your specific source.  The advantage of the new interface is switching between OPTICAL as well as locally saved music.  There is Devialet Air for the Expert line (which lets us stream music directly from a computer) but it sounds like Spark is still more reliable.

I love spark!!!!
