How to add an entire artist to Now Playing, sorted by album

Post by RogueBurger »

Hi, all! I recently discovered Mediamonkey and I love it. Unfortunately I've run into something I can't seem to change, and it's something I've heavily relied on in other players. I often want to play all my music from a single artist, however I like to listen to it album by album. The problem is that when I double click and artist to add them to my Now Playing list, it organizes them by track number, so first all the track 1's from all the albums, then all the track 2's, etc. Then I have to manually go over and click on the album header in the Now Playing list to sort them the way I want them. Is there some way to get Mediamonkey to remember to add tracks to Now Playing by album?

What is the sort column(s) when you select the Artist in the Media Tree? Make sure the Filelisting is sorted on Album.

The Main window is sorted by album:

Sorry, didn't realize the image would get cut off at that size. If you can read this version, you see the main window is sorted by album. I just double-clicked on CAKE and you can see that the Now Playing window has them in a different order than the main window.

Where exactly do you double click the Artist to add to the Now Playing?

In that third column (Album Artist), where you can see CAKE highlighted.

Those are important details as the issue is with Art with Details view and using the Column Browser. That I can reproduce: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=9728

The Details view doesn't suffer from this bug.
