Well then, respectfully, I'd suggest you consider lobbying that they add it in the way I've suggested that would be in line with their database philosophy. A pseudo file browser based on the user being able to specify the criteria for the sort that orders the titles one wishes to browse by. I think otherwise you will never see it, as there would likely be too much involved and too little gained.
The main limitation of a file browser is that you are constrained to only browsing in the hierarchy established by the file structure. If you order your files as Genre:Author:Title then want to look for a specific title you can't remember in a Genre you do remember and don't remember the author you are in for a world of hurt and in for a lot of directory hopping, whereas a browser configurable to show Genre:Title would allow you to drill down to the list of all the titles for that Genre without opening and closing endless Author directories. A huge time savings. That's why I'm in favor of such an approach, that and that they already have the database.
