Song selection menu is solid for a library that you can easily scroll from top to bottom and see everything, but when you build a custom library with hundreds or even thousands of songs then the song selection UI starts leaving a lot to be desired. When you have multiple songs from individual artists or even full albums, it would be nice to have a way to see the artists name as a heading above their list of songs. Maybe even have the option to have those sorted by album and track number (assuming that info is present in the song.ini file of course). Even just a way to easily jump from first letter of the artist or title, quickly be able to jump down from "B" to "M" without scrolling all that way. We do have the search feature which can be great for seeking out a specific song titles or artists quickly, but it has a limited number of results listed and isn't really ideal if your building a playlist or just wanting to efficiently browse through your entire library. It's also an option to go inside your library folder and create sub folders for each artist then placing their songs inside the sub folders, and the option to have subfolders in your library is GREAT! But after a while this can also get to feeling messy, confusing and like a better option could be added to the game. *update* Also the ability for the game to recognize "Track #" in the Song.ini file. So that songs could be grouped and organized into albums along with track numbers and all that

I finally figured out what exactly the song selection menu is that I was trying to describe. Like the setup in clone hero! Phase Shift is already a great deal better than clone hero for many reasons, especially drum and added controller support for full band and online play obviously! But the UI and song library sorting and selection menu in Phase Shift needs some and care for sure. Mainly the ability to sort the menu by not only artist and genre, but things like source! Most of the customs I've used have the original source labeled in the ini file, and being able to sort songs based off that would be great. And having headings the song list, like the Artists name in a header above their songs when it's sorted by Artist. Or the name of the source in a header it's song if the list is sorted that way. Essentially these are more or less all the same UI features for song selection that you would see in any other game of this type, Guitar Hero or Rock Band and I think even Rock Smith had a similar formula. I know you guys are working on all sorts of things, and I'm super excited to see the future updates and improvements to come after the Steam release Great work guys!
