The product library definitively needs to be re-done. It is no so difficult, anybody with some knowledge of databases (like MySQL) and a script language like PHP or ASP could do it better without a big effort. It's an organisation thing, that library is completly chaotic. Of course, IMHO and YMMV, please take no offense.

Speaking of poor design of databases, they apparently made the "Release date" field in the catalog into a text field. That means that when you sort on release date, you get April-February-January-March-May.

Yup, that kind of things, I mean.

Anybody with a small database experience know that kind of pit traps and dodges them, so I cannot understand how a professional site from a big company can have such kind of problems...
