Often, I'm just as frustrated about the opposite problem... technology that is less functional than what it is replacing because it doesn't replicate important features in a natural way. For example, I feel like I can organize my physical music collection on shelves in my house more quickly, naturally, and helpfully than I can my digital music collection in any media player/music manager I've tried. Shouldn't our technology be at least as good as its counterpart?

So how do you search or sort by track name in your physical music collection?

You're right, I can't, and that's a useful feature. However, I don't find that I need to very often. In the interest and excitement of offering new (useful) features such as track name searching, I feel that these programs overlook many more useful features. (This is besides the point, but... for example, I can organize albums together on a shelf in my house. That's how I like to decide what to listen to. Why do digital music libraries fail to offer such a tool?)
