Show information about Collection size: # of tracks/files, albums, artists, filesize
-
It'd be great for collection management as well as technical purposes if SMP could show some basic data about the Collection:
- number of tracks/files
- number of albums
- number of artists
- Space used (e.g. 13.2 GB)
I have a pretty large collection and miss the data that iTunes used to show in the status bar about overall library size (# of items, total play time, and total file size).
SMP could show a short summary of totals at the bottom of the Collection pane when you scroll to the bottom below all the artists/albums - or however you have your collection displaying groups. This would also serve as a way to summarize the # of search results in the collection.
OR there could be a summary displayed on the Tools>Settings>Collection tab. OR another option would be to create some type of "report" screen...but I'd be happy with just a few simple stats.
Thoughts?
How are others finding the total size of their collection today?

@mncroc Yes! You can add your entire collection to view the number of tracks and how long your collection is, but there seems to be no way to show how many albums there? I like your idea about these stats showing up at the bottom (with option for top?) of the collection tab.

@mncroc LMS (Logitech Media Server / Squeezebox server / Lyrion....) keeps it nice & concise (albeit you have to access the information via the 'Settings' webpage):
Library Statistics
Total Tracks: 26,106
Total Albums: 2,399
Total Artists: 5,197
Total Genres: 93
Total Playlists: 0
Total Playing Time: 1987:20:05It does also have a rather splendid plugin 'Visual Statistics' that tells you pretty much anything you might care to know about your collection.
But, hey, this is all about SMP - and I love it!
