I am new to jrivers and would like know if there is a option to select by composer from given library. Example if I choose to listen just to Mozart as a event session.

Howdy,

Here are a couple of quick ways:

1. Type in the Search box (upper right): Mozart

2. If (1) provides too many undesired items, type in the Search box a query. Example: [Composer]=Mozart

3. If you are going to routinely want to view by Composers, create or modify a view that includes Composer as a category or pane.  For example, modify a copy of the Artists view. Right-click the Artists view in the tree (on the left) under Audio and select Customize View.  Remove the Album Artist (auto) entry, and then click Add and select Composer.  Move Composer to the top of the categories list.  Click OK and save a copy of the view naming it Composers.

Thank you so much for your reply I will give it try!

MrC gave you good advice.  Here is an example of a view I use for classical music



I can scroll through the list of composers and pick one ("Mozart" for example.)  The Work Name column will then show a list of works by Mozart in my collection. I can pick a work and then an artist (I put the performers in the artist tag.)  Since some composers have written many works, I can use the Sub_genre tag to narrow down the work name list (to just piano concerti for example.)

You can define custome tags as I did and views that use them.  Lots of possibilities to make JRiver work just the way you want it to for classical music.
