I want to look at my music library by album grouped by the year of release. Is there an easy way to set up this view?

Thanks,

Jeff

In Standard or Theater View?

Do you have the files tagged by release date?

Standard view is probably the one I care about. I'm used to MediaMonkey where I have a tree view I can navigate. See the attached screenshot. I really prefer to look for music by year most of the time.

Thanks,

Jeff

Create a new Standard View of type Panes. Add as a column type Expression, and add the expression:

FormatDate([Date,0], Decade)

This presumes you've tagged the Date value correctly for your files. Add other columns as desired.

Thanks! That was a good enough hint to get me messing with custom views. I understand it now. Very helpful!
