>OK so now we indeed have 'no album' back instead of miscellaneous. It didn't work for me - I still have many miscellaneous albums :(
>- all 'no album' songs are grouped together under 'various artists - no >album' > If I don't use MusicIP, I get the same - all singles appear on a "No Album" album, which can be found in Browse Albums > No Album, or Browse Artist > Various Artists > No Album. The songs by an individual artist also appear in Browse Artist > [Artist] > No Album, which is good. >why >not revert back various artists compilation albums grouping behaviour >to just reading out the 'compilation album' flag in the mp3 file >itself? Call me old fashioned but I hate it when machines start >thinking for me instead of with me.. > By default, albums that have multiple artists and no album artist are tagged as compilations. In my mind, that is the correct default action to take. "No Album" is currently not treated any differently, other than no album tag is stored as Album="No Album". I'm okay with that, as the songs appear both on the one "No Album" compilation, and as a subset "No Album" within the list of albums relating to an Artist. You could try setting all "No Album" songs to have COMPILATION=0 to force "No Album" to not be listed under Various Artists. However, I think you may then end up with lots of "No Album" albums. >- little off topic but as I am spitting a bit already: I have many >songs that are NOT related to an album at all: just singles and such, >Now I'd really appreciate it if it would be made possible to browse >there directly from the artist, instead of first going into a 'no >album' or 'miscellaneous' option.. and THEN further onto the song >itself. simply doesnt make sense from my point of view Not sure what you mean. How are you currently browsing to the songs? You should be able to go to Artist > [Artist name] > No Album, to see a list of singles by your chosen artist. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
