Hi Michi...

no, I didn't miss that...
But that's exactly one part of what I mean: You now have to know what you are looking for to find it through a search-engine. That makes it more complicated than seeing everything directly or with just one or two clicks and clear structure with icons and images that speak for themselves and support the names of the libraries. Through these photos and Icons combined with the text explanations at least I got a lot of inspiration and attracted to get to know more about it. So the old strategy worked perfectly to make me an even better customer for VSL... If I wouldn't know so much about VSL and the libraries as I do know now the new strategy would leave me lost, would not attract me to open up what's behind the icons and I would probably buy at a different Library maker with cheaper prizes. Just because the option now makes newbies think it's less quality inside as it really is.

Most ppl search a book by the cover, or as we say in german "Das Auge ißt mit" (for all non-german-speaking ppl: try google translator, could be funny...).

Don't misunderstand me: I appreciate the search engine. But it should be a bonus, not a replacement. If a website looks cheap and unattractive, you can't pimp it with a search engine.
And to be clear: I wish that VSL gets more and more customers, ppl who then create new professional music with such inspiring and high-class samples, but my fear is the opposite effect.

Best, Heiko
