Hi,
my site will be featuring individual songs instead of albums and the songs will be listed under genres like Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop...etc
I want to have a menu structure that links to the search results for the specific genre as indicated in your instructions:
"We want to access the search tool of Music Collection: that's the Search view. this is very similar to the Artists view, but if you add the necessary search variables to the URL, such as "search", "searchword", "artist_id" or "genre_id", you'll be performing a concret search that will display the albums (or songs) that match the query. Use this option ONLY if you know what you're doing and you're familiar to URL GET variables (only developers!)"
Well I would like to use this option but as I am not familiar with URL GET. I'm not a developer
Is there somewhere I can get additional information to guide me on this or is this something you could customize for me?

0it's quite easy.
you need to create a menu item of type EXTERNAL
and write this:
index.php?option=com_muscol&view=search&search=songs&genre_id=1
(genre_id being whatever you need)
and that's it
anyway, in a future version there will be an easier way of doing it without the need of creating an External menu item
