Many new features in CVS!

Playlists now work (teehee). We have a new 'live-search' feature: as you type in the live-search box (on the far right of the playback bar) the playlist or source you're viewing is instantly filtered by what you enter. It's instant on my 1318-song collection, I'd love to hear reports from others. Among other things, live-search is a great way to create playlists -- just enter, say, 'miles kind of blue', select the songs displayed, and drag them onto the playlist pane. It's that easy!

Smart Playlists are coming soon. These present a window into your music collection based on some criteria, instead of a defined list of songs. (Live-search is actually a limited example of this.) So you could, say, create a playlist that would automatically find songs you haven't yet played, or any songs released between 1980 and 1989 -- and it will update automatically as you add music. Coming soon....
