Hi

I've mentioned this since Version 13 and this will be the last time i ever mention it as no-one seems interested in this topic, but as MC 16 is now at MC 16 Beta i thought i would give it one last try. The one aspect that Mc that really bugs me is the fact the Mc uses Album and after That Artis; For Exmapple.

Search: Boston

Boston By Boston
Don't Look Back By Boston
Third Stage By Boston

My Solution is This:

Access Options
Library And Folders
A New Button; Albums Only

Please Someone Tell Me What You Think

I am not sure what you are asking for.  Are you saying that when it displays you don't want to see the "by Boston"?

Tunetyme

stevenf:
Correct. If you look at the iTunes player it only has the albums by a specific artist. Whereas with the Media Center this is displayed in the library;

Boston by Boston
Don't Look Back by Boston
Third Stage by Boston

That is not what i want; what i want is this

Boston
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3

Don't Look Back
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3... and so on.

The track number being the song. I hope this makes things clearer.

Exactly which part of, where in, MC do you see this?  How about a screenshot?

It's the behaviour of a Panes View grouped by Album. He wants the "by [Artist]" suppressed when there is only one artist selected. I don't think it's a good idea for such a general-purpose behaviour. It's fine if you know which artist you've selected, but would be annoying (for example) if you did a search which happened to return only one artist.

It's possible to create an expression field =[Album] and then group by that, but that won't group the Albums by Artist. I think the more practical solution is, "Don't let it bug you." ;)
