Barry, finally had time to do some more research on my jump to letter button problem.  If you recall, it seems that the JUMP TO LETTER button works great on the main artist screen.  But on the Filter by Artist screen, every button is off by one letter.  If I hit B, it jumps to C, if I hit G, it jumps to H.  You mentioned that you had recoded it so that the album screen and the filter by screen use the same code. 

After a whole bunch of checking all my tags to make sure it wasn't a tag issue, I think I have finally narrowed it down.  The JUMP TO LETTER screen that pops up on both of the ablum screen and filter by artist screen use the jumptoletter_v2.ini file.  So far so good.  The problem comes in is that the artist screen expects the letters in the .ini file to Start with A, and end with #.  But the filter by artist expects the .ini file to start with # and end with Z.

I edited the .ini file and (which currently looks like this:

Like this, the main album screen works fine, but the filter by artist screen is off by one.

I changed it to this:

And now the main album screen is off by one, and the filter by artist screen works fine.

So it seems that while the code to bring up the screen is fine, they are both expecting the letters and the # sign to be in different orders in the .ini file.  If you could look into this, that would be great.  Also, It would be great if you could use the version with the # first for both, as that is how the probram filters and sorts on the screen, but I am sure that would probably break a lot of skins, so whatever is the best solution to fix this is ok..

Thanks for all the hard work you do on the program.
