As far as the genre view, keep in mind that in the latest jEmplodes you can customize what soup views you have, so Genre is only there if you want it.... For instance, you could decide that you want a "By Genre/By Artist/By Year" soup view if you wanted. Basically you would just have a new "New Soup Playlist" option or something that would let you build these things and they would just start working just like a regular soup view except that it would be making regular playlists.
