Requesting a few features / tweaks #992

First of all, thanks for making this great piece of software. Decided to gamble and grabbed it for a few euros on the android store, and oh boy did I make a good choice!

Now, after a week or so using the software, I'd like to request a few additions if possible :

Tracks crossfading (smooth transition) That's a great option that some players have, but unfortunately not Dsub (unless I missed it in the settings?)

When you're on the artist page and requesting "similar artists", it seems to be limiting to only 20 similar artists. Could we have the option (maybe a slider?) to have more? I have the feeling that the "artist radio" feature only features tracks from these 20 artists (from last.fm I suppose?), which is a shame when you have a big library of hundreds of artists.

Hiccup concerning tags. I have Pink Floyd artist tagged as genre "Progressive Rock; Psychedelic Rock". Pink Floyd will then be found under the genre "Progressive Rock; Psychedelic Rock", in the "Home > Genres" menu, when in fact it should be found both under "Progressive Rock" and "Psychedelic Rock". No idea if this is a subsonic server or DSUB issue, but that would be amazing if you could fix this. (some people also use the "//" characters as separator)

Tweak to "Last.FM Top Tracks" feature. When on the artist page once again, trying to pull "Last.FM Top Tracks" sometimes gives no result, because it's trying to pull the exact case-sensitive result it seems. Maybe this feature could be a bit more forgiving and not be case-sensitive? Example: I have the (The Cure) track tagged "Pictures Of You" not being pulled, because Last.FM has it as "Pictures of You". I have no idea if you can make this "case-insentive". In the case you can't, can you at least display the missing tracks in the "Last.FM Top Tracks" menu? (same as missing artists using "Similar Artists" menu) Maybe have them greyed out or something, that would help.

Have a "Show Artist" / "Show Album" / "Lyrics" icons directly available on the album cover (in playing mode), instead of having to display the tracklist to access those options.

Having the option to display "Remaining time" instead of "Total tracktime" (in playing mode)

If all of this was to be fixed/modified/added, that would truly make the software perfect to me.

Thanks once again for your amazing app and keep up the great work!

To answer your tag question: Subsonic only supports one tag, so that is not a DSub thing. The other things can be changed in DSub.
