"Albums" tab should reflect the "Files" tab structure

Open ranperry opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Currently, when choosing the "albums" tab, an alphabetical list of ALL the albums in the library is loaded. It would be easier to navigate if instead of loading all the albums as it is now, the user should have the option to navigate the albums based on their directory structure.

I don't get how this is different from the files tab

Also, more often than not, we don't know what folder your album is in.

Currently, there is no way to sort the albums under the "albums" tab. The "Files" tab allow the user to view the folder hierarchy but without any covers shown. My suggestion / request is to have more flexibility in the way album covers are presented under the "Albums" tab. If the actual folder structure is not an option, perhaps allowing sorting by tags will work (genre, year, etc..)

mpdBrowser is a program that mimics this idea:
