Hey  how about making the folders explorer command less onerous?  Right now when I browse by Artist among my thousands of MP3 files, each of whom is organized by folders, I get 8 big icons of folders at a time, which I have to scroll through one by one to read the folder titles. I have hundreds of artists' MP3s and that is woefully inefficient.  I just want to see a list of, say, 20 artists per page and then scroll through pages until i see the name I want.  I know I can also search for a name ,but i want the ability to just browse when I'm looking for nothing in particular.  How about updating the firmware to allow this?  It would increase the utility a billion-fold.

Unfortunatley it does not work with my TV and I have read other people's posts where it doen't work for them either, so the best solution which work for all is for WD people to put the exiting option for this as part of the options that are available via the "Options" button.

I guess that makes it pretty much the same as posting it in the ideas section, it's ignored there too.

Actually WDC pretty much seems to ignore this whole forum

Please add Language support to file search functionality.

Currently, there is no way to search for a file if the file name is in different labguage (i.e. russian).

In the search window you can only input English characters.

The inability to stream Netflix videos from my Netflix account is the ONLY thing stopping me from acquiring the WD TV Live hardware now.  I've read in a number of reviews that WD may add this ability in future updates to firmware.  Will wait 'til then.
