As this is a big feature in iTunes, I'm really suprised there's no support--especially since it would seem to be a natural use for a remote controlled itunes.

1. After PatioTunes has been running for a small while, clicking on a song or an artist takes me to a completely differnet song or artist. I'm not going through and adding new mp3s into the computer's playlist, so I don't know why this is happening.
2. Artists need to be listed alphabetically under Library. I've got in the neighborhood of 3000 different artists thanks to VA albums, and it's a real chore searching through the list, even with typeahead.
3. Albums with multiple artists are somewhat mishandled. When opening an artist from the Library, you're taken to a list of that artist. When you click on the title of an album where the artist has contributed a track, it'd be nice if you were taken to a track listing of that album.
I realize #3 is probably somewhat of a pain, if even possible without investing a good many hours, but #1 and #2 are somewhat inexcusable. I'd love to pay for this (I can writing a crappy version myself, but why bother if a slick application exists that doesn't break the bank?), but it isn't an option with these flaws. Hopeully they're fixed soon.
Argh.
Finally check to make sure that you have downloaded the latest version. PatioTunes' artist name sorting has been tweaked to match the logic of iTunes.
Thanks,

I want to buy it right now, but I need two simple changes.
Firstly if you browse whilst music is playing it automatically starts up the next tune. What I mean is if I have pink floyd playing and I want to search out a track from Frank Zappa to play next, the programme will start playing the first zappa track. Can it not be adjusted so that you have to press play to get the next track going?
Secondly a search bar would be really great, a search bar to search out tracks to play.
Great stuff otherwise
