Categorizing

Is there anything in the works, or at least the thought of, to categorize the tracks so they are easily browsable? I was thinking of a Menu system that allowed you to select a park, then a land, then a ride.

I know it would be quite the headache, but maybe even a graphical interface where you could select an area or ride from a map of the park.

Or something along those lines.

Yes, there is something on the works like this. In a way, it's already built in. searching for "Magic Kingdom - Tomorrowland" would give you all of those tracks there in. For us, it's just a matter of making those searches predefined. And it is in the works.

I find searching the playlists to be pretty easy. I have groups of keywords that I enter to narrow the search to the tracks I'm looking for. And my operating system remembers my previous searches and plugs in the keywords automatically after the first couple of keystrokes. It can't get much easier than that!

And, fwiw, partial words work well also, e.g., "illum" brings up "illuminations"

Yeh, that works for when you know what you're searching for. I was thinking more along the lines of browsing throught the parks (virtually) and letting something pop out at you that you wouldn't have thought of to request. Maybe we'd get a little more variety on the songs requested.

I agree, it might help people pick some new stuff. And eventually it will get in. When, I don't know.
