Remember that they were invented as alpha keys: 2222 for ABBA, as well as ABCA, etc. Thus PINs cannot assumed to be unique

Are you sure you're talking about the same thing? The 2222 thing applies to a search by artist, and 2222 get's you ABBA (in most cases, 22 will also probably get it).

And as Roger explained, you won't have to assume that PINs are unique in 1.1, due to this very cool search utility (thanks for the info). And hey, PINs can be unique if you want them to or not-unique if you don't want them to be.

So what's your complaint?

I am eagerly awaiting v1.1 all the more.
