It's looks like its fixed in 7.1 now (it's had been there for a while first 7.1 for me). You have Album Sort Method under advanced settings: Album Artist,Year,Album Artist,Album I deem the Year option pretty hard to use as Year tags is always wrong from the getgo on most tag databases. People

I don't know about others who've shelled out for a Duet, but I'm amazed and frankly highly annoyed that SD/Logitech would think fit to release a Controller that doesn't support changing the sort order for browsing albums. *To whit: the current implementation of the album browse on the Controller

Did I smoke too much weed in my youth or is it reasonable to assume that Artist/Album is how most of us would choose something to listen to? That's why there is the Browse by Artist mode, isn't it? I fully agree with you: I use it all the time. No need to scroll through hundreds of albums.
