selecting an album does not change the tracks

Post by marcopb »

I consistently get (sometimes after playing a few albums, sometimes a little more, but always) an annoying behavior: Suppose you have a composer with 10 albums. You select that composer (with "Album" selection still on "All (10 items)" and "Artist" selection also on "All"). The tracks list is rightly showing all tracks, so for example if these are ordered by track#, you will see 10 times Track#1, ten Track#2 etc.
Normally, if you now select a specific album, in the "Tracks" window you see only those for that album, so if you double click you start listening to that album. This normally works at first. After some time, the selection doesn't work anymore and the "Tracks" window always shows all Tracks... and double clicking on a specific album starts playing all tracks, so, all tracks #1, from all albums, then all #2 etc. So far, the only way I found to get the "correct" behavior back is to close MediaMonkey and start it again.

I currently have Version 4.1.30.1914
My library is fairly big (1139 albums, 19432 tracks...)

Are you talking about the Column Browser? I believe that has fixes in MediaMonkey 5.

Hello and thanks.
OK, so no plan to backport this fix to 4.1? Should I update my license to 5.0?

Thanks!

No, MediaMonkey 4 is not going to get these type of fixes anymore. MediaMonkey 5 is expected to be released soon.

There is a discount on MediaMonkey 5 Licenses at the moment: viewtopic.php?p=475986#p475986
Lifetime Licenses don't need to buy a MediaMonkey 5 License and I don't know what/if any upgrade offers will be available for MediaMonkey 4 Licenses on launch of MediaMonkey 5.
