Is this a problem with the current version of SageMC, or do you mean that you switched from SageMC to the default STV ? If the latter, you do know that SageMC 6.3.0 (with lots of new features, especially in the Music library) is available for Sage V6.0, right ?

Anyone know how to have the cool new features .. genre sort etc ... and still have the nice large album art view with the alphabet index on the right side. Please advise before I have to uninstall 6 and reinstall 5.

I think I know what you're talking about, but I use the default UI not SageMC. In the default STV, I just went into options in the music library and decreased the number of rows shown on screen.

BTW: On several of the browser styles, you can use the Options menu to configure a multi-column display.

And, the old alphabet on the right-hand side is no longer needed, as you can jump directly to points in the music list by typing letters or numbers. Or, with the hidden extras turned on, you can just start typing a name to filter down to the desired item fairly quickly -- see Usage tips for new v6 features. You can type using the numbers on your remote & it will filter according to anything the entered NTE letters can spell.

Rows=2
Columns=4

Usually gives you nice square folders and approximates the earlier Sage 2/4/5 look.
