Hi there hope someone can help me before i go completely mad and throw a wobbly.
Try to set up media monkey to show the Artist and then the albums by that artist in my music collection. i've looked and searched but don't seem to be able to find the answer i'm looking for.
I have all of my music on my sever the folders are structured in the following way
\Music
\Artist Name
\Album Name
1- Song.mp3 (or flac depending if download or rip)
2- Song.mp3
and so on. Most artists have multiple albums in the directory. All are correctly tagged using Tag & Rename the album artist field is the name of the artist unless its a compilation album in which case the album artist field is then set to Various Artists.
What i am trying to achieve is to show the individual artist and then the albums under that artist.
At the moment i can only seem to to have Artist & Album Artist as an option this then gives me an A to Z list of all my artists for instance showing under A i have AC-DC 10 albums, Adele 3 albums, Al Green 24 albums all listed together and so on
I want it to show as individual Artists and then the albums next to there name.
What gets even worse is if i click the arrow next to Artist & Album Artist i can then see all the artists that might only have 1 or 2 tracks from compilation albums i only want to see those listed under the compilation album they come from.
Choosing Album from the media tree seems to give me exactly the same view.
Am i being completely thick (not unusual), just missing something really obvious (again not that unusual) or can't i get the program to do what i want.
If means have to upgrade to mediamonkey gold then that's fine.
Many thanks for taking the time to read
Regards
