Hmmm
you really should use the database features from lms and fill the tags
from your library.

eg:
'This'
(http://your.lms.server.ip:9000/advanced_search.html?action=saveSearch_titlesearch=_namesearch=_namesearch.active1=1_namesearch.active2=1_namesearch.active4=1_namesearch.active5=1_titlesearch==BETWEEN=1950-1959_type===Track)

Would list all of your files between 1950-1959.

Since the id of a genre like jazz depends on your library - and its not
always the same -so that exapmle cant show everything you can search via
advanced search.
its a quite easy try it

I have a lot of compilations and listen to a lot of older music and it's
not unusual for a disc to have 2 or 3 genres...If it's a career spanning
collection and starts in the 50s and ends in the 70s, I wouldn't just
tag that as "OLDIES" or whatever, I'd have a tag for the 50s, for the
60s, and then the 70s, so I can't really use the genre tags to view
entire albums since again I routinely split a disc into several genres.
I'm realizing what you're suggesting might be the only way to do what
I'm after, though.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just browse by genre if that's how
you've organized your library. You get the same hierarchy of genre >
artist > album. Plus you get the benefit of seeing artists in multiple
genres and (IIRC) you also get genre filtering, so you'd only see albums
or tracks by each artist which match the genre you're browsing.

How many of these "by folder" do you have?

Maybe you can use the virtual library function.

No, I actually use the genre tags for that but keep all the original
albums together. I mostly listen to a lot of older music and have quite
a few compilations so it's not unheard of in my collection for a single
album to have 2 or 3 different genre tags.

Hi,

i dont think thats possible.

btw: if some album has a single instrumental track - the rest is pop or
something else - do you move that track into another folder?

BMF or Browse Mediafiles is just a benefit not the real deal.

I am looking to see a display BY FOLDER of albums in a grid featuring
cover art in the style of the main "Albums" menu option.

I do have my music sorted by folder, then artist, then album.

If this isn't clear I don't know how else to explain it.

And some empty lines between a new sentence would help our eyes and
brain too to understand.

I think you use the bmf funktion not the database ones?

I don't even remotely have a clue what you're asking.

You want to view a folder in "album-like" format. What is "album-like"
format?

Sounds like you haven't organized individual albums into folders, but
I've no idea what you mean by either "categories" that you have in
folders, nor what you mean by wanting to see "certain types" in a view.
