Is there any way of changing the library...

Post by DunKhan »

So that when browsing by genre that instead of a tree of the artists appearing a tree of the album artists appear?

I'm using the latest beta.

you should be able to right click on the top of the header for the column in the track browser view and pick which tag you want that one to show. is that one not a choice? :-?

My Custom Nodes & Magic Nodes can accomplish this for you. Read the information in the thread and you should be able to figure out how to go about doing it with either script, if not, make a post in either of those topics asking for help doing it with the respective script.

EDIT: If you go with My Custom Nodes, I went in and grabbed a snippet from my INI for the script.

Code: Select all

;------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Genre (Album Artist)]
;------------------------------------------------------------------------
icon=Genre
sortLike=Genre
level=Genre
level=AlbumArtist
level=Album
trackCriteria="Genre <> ''"
parent="Library"
With the information in that thread, and that there, you should have it working in no time.

rovingcowboy, sorry I was unclear as to what I mean - I meant in the tree view once you expand the folder for a genre if it was possible to get the album artist to appear there in the tree view. Thanks anyway though :)

Mizery_Made, thanks very much :) The people posting in your nodes thread seemed to like it so I'll give them a shot. Thanks again.

Your custom nodes are really impressive but unfortunately don't like to play with the 3.1 beta (and as last.fm functionality only really works well on 3.1 and the lack of it was why I didn't use MM earlier...) so I'm going to try the other ones. They looked good though so I'll keep an eye on them.
