I am trying to edit the categories that you can select from once loading music window. The options are Songs, Artists, Genre, Top100 etc. I can compile etc. and know my way around the playlist side of things having done some work there but I cannot determine where the song categories are coming from (I feel that I am looking for a needle in a haystack here). I know there are other ways to achieve the song sorting etc. but for my particular task I need to be able to remove categories from this view. Hiding them acceptable.

So far I have found the categories being called upon in the file GUIViewStateMusic.cpp under:

CGUIViewStateMusicDatabase::CGUIViewStateMusicDatabase(const CFileItemList& items) : CGUIViewStateWindowMusic(items)



Is this the right spot or am I way off?? Thanks in advance.

Would this be the area to look (MusicDatabaseDirectory)?

// Create a node object
CDirectoryNode* CDirectoryNode::CreateNode(NODE_TYPE Type, const std:tring& strName, CDirectoryNode* pParent)
{
switch (Type)
{

return new CDirectoryNodeRoot(strName, pParent);

return new CDirectoryNodeOverview(strName, pParent);
