Winamp Media Library-style views

[contorama]

First, thank you very much for this great software!
Actually, for decades I´m a happy user of Winamp. I like the slim user interface which nicely sits on the right part of my right screen, so the current playlist is easily visible. And thanks to the incredibly fast media library I can see for whatever artist, album or song I listened to how often and when last time, all visible in the configurable view of media library. Of course, it´s completely irrelevant but it´s nice to see that a certain album was played last time on 23 March 2007, so maybe should listen to that once again?
Basically, the only drawback is that Winamp only runs on my Windows Desktop and cannot connect to a Navidrome server or the like.
That´s how I stumbled upon Ampcast and am very happy to see something pretty much resembling what I was missing (Navidrome client + Linux)
Now, I wonder if it would be possible to permit configurable views in Ampcast similar to Winamp´s Media Library? I still consider it perfect: several columns for Artist list, Album list and Album list with cover, each sortable, a bottom view which shows what you currently selected (e.g. an album) including play count and last played, and overall on top a search bar which can narrow down in each column no matter if you search for artist, album or song title. See screenshot for reference

I understand that nowadays, clients with the looks of Spotify (such as Feishin etc.) are what people want and are used to, but Ampcast comes close to Winamp and it seems doable to add some more detailed library views, so maybe it´s something that more people might favor?
Anyway, thank you, even with current feature set I´m happy I found Ampcast.
(PS. Unfortunately, I cannot code, but at least I could convince some AI to help with scripts to export Winamp´s playcount/last played and import them into navidrome.db, which now show up in Ampcast and other players. I´d be happy to share that if nothing else I can do)

Configurable views are definitely something I want to add. The views are already configurable internally but I need to create some UI (menus etc) to expose them to the user. I also love the old Winamp interface and it's a huge inspiration for this project. I would also like to add Winamp-like sorting and filtering.

It's quite a big feature to add but it's definitely on the roadmap. I suppose I should publish this roadmap that only exists in my head at the moment. :)

Great to hear and looking forward for these features!
But don´t feel pressed, I already use Ampcast with current feature set and if some day an improvement appears, the better it is!

I added a lot more sorting and view configuration options in version 0.9.19.

There is still more that I can do. But this will do for a while.

I rounded out sorting options in version 0.9.29.
