Feature Requests

[Bill Gee]

Hi Robbie -

Tellico is not the culprit for mangling album names.  They come that way from 
MusicBrainz or CDDB or ...  Whoever created the original record has a 
different idea than I of how classical music albums should be named and 
sorted.

The key thing for Tellico is being able to FIND the new record once it is 
added.  If I can find it, I can edit it.

I did not realize that additional columns could be added to the tracks list.  
Thanks for the tip!
