The screenshot really helps. I've never used playlists for anything other than having a preset lists of songs that I want to play or shuffle so I have never really cared for or tried to change the default display. From your screenshot it looks like you have created a playlist for the band WINK that contains all of the music you have by them.
As far as I can tell, your only option for playlist views is as a file list (I don't see any other options under the 'View As' settings). For a file list view you have the following list styles:
- Details
- Thumbnails (what you have selected)
- Album Thumbnails
- Tiles
From your screenshot, it looks like you chose 'Thumbnails' which gives you one thumbnail for each track. If you change the style to 'Album Thumbnails' then you will get one thumbnail for each album and hovering over the thumbnail will give you a pop up window with a list of the tracks on that album. The disadvantage of the Album Thumbnail view is that you can't select individual tracks to play (as far as I can see).
From your earlier screenshot, it looks like you might be better off with a library view instead of a play list for your WINK songs. Try this:
- In the main tree to the left, right click on the 'Audio' section.
- Select 'Add Library View'.
- Choose 'Albums' as the view type, change the 'Name:' to WINK, and leave the location as 'Audio'.
Now in the list of Audio views you have one called 'WINK' that has all of your audio tracks in it.
- Right click on the new view, and select 'Customize View'.
- In the Customize View screen, in the middle 'Settings' section, under 'Included Files', click the '...' button next to 'Set rules for file display...'.
- In the 'Edit Search' window that now pops up, in the 'Rules' section, click the first drop down and select 'Artist', the middle box should be 'is any', in the third box hit the drop down and check the box next to 'WINK'.
- Click 'OK' in the Edit Search window, Click 'OK' in the Customize View window.
Now you should have a library view called 'WINK that contains all of the albums by WINK. Double click one to open the view pane on the bottom half of the screen with the track details, then single click on each album to see it's track list (if you double click again it closes the bottom view).
If you want to have the albums sorted in a different order (like release date instead of title), choose the customize view option again, and click the 'Edit' button next to the Album display category. There is a sorting setting towards the bottom of the screen.
