When you click into an album it shows the track listings ordered by track. Great if all of your music is held in folders tagged as &quot;Artist - Album Name&quot;. See screenshots at the bottom of this post. I've added an updated XML file too.I'm going to have a play around with this view for My Pictures too...There isn't one - that info is included in the XML file of whichever screen it is you want to edit.If you're talking about editing mymusicsongs.xml look for the following code. I don't know what you're looking at changing so I've copied all of the code that &quot;operates&quot; the slide in menu. If you're only looking at adding or changing some buttons you can skip the code in red:[spoiler]&lt;control&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;type&gt;actiongroup&lt;/type&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;description&gt;action menu&lt;/description&gt;&nbsp;

[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 426412, member: 53582"] I remember when I first changed from MCE to MediaPortal I was really disappointed with MP's handling of the Music section - the thing is that it's been so long since I've used MCE that I can't remember what I liked about it anymore :S Try this set-up - Use the "Shares" view but set your music view up as follows: [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/streamedmp-301/40991d1243331073-music-screen-does-anyone-have-good-one-picture-1.png[/IMG] This shows all albums, ordered by artist in a icon mode. When you click into an album it shows the track listings ordered by track. Great if all of your music is held in folders tagged as "Artist - Album Name". See screenshots at the bottom of this post. I've added an updated XML file too. I'm going to have a play around with this view for My Pictures too... There isn't one - that info is included in the XML file of whichever screen it is you want to edit.If you're talking about editing mymusicsongs.xml look for the following code. I don't know what you're looking at changing so I've copied all of the code that "operates" the slide in menu. If you're only looking at adding or changing some buttons you can skip the code in [COLOR="Red"]red[/COLOR]: [spoiler] [COLOR="Red"]<control> <type>actiongroup</type> <description>action
