Here's how to do this in the meantime, though there are some minor limitations:
Add an ALBUMSORT tag to all tracks (TSOA tag in id3 tags). Populate that tag with the artist name, followed by the album name. I prefer to have an artist's albums sorted chronologically, so I also insert the year before the album name. For example: Amos, Tori|2005|Beekeeper Beatles|1965|Rubber Soul Beatles|1966|Revolver Beatles|1968|Beatles [White Album] Beatles|1969|Abbey Road Cooder, Ry|1972|Into the Purple Valley Newsome, Joanna|2004|Milk-Eyed Mender Sexton, Martin|1996|Black Sheep The only drawback to doing this is that in Browse Albums you'll get the same sort order - by artist instead of album title. Fine with me, as I find browsing by album title to be pretty much useless. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17990 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
