Is a good album list possible? (1 Viewer)

[datja]

Dear all,

Winamp has a neat plugin (Album List) that supports the (in my opinion) best way to overview your music collection: it allows you to show your collection based on your folder structure, then using the folder.jpgs and the tags for each album, so that

A collection of albums with the following folder structure:

-Alphaville
-- 1984 Forever Young
-- 1999 Best of
-Budgie
-- 1973 Breadfan
-- 2000 A tribute to Budgie
-Iron Maiden
--1982 The Number of the Beast
--1986 Somewhere in time

is shown like this:

(Thumb)
Alphaville - Forever Young

(Thumb)
Alphaville - Best of

(Thumb)
Budgie - Breadfan

(Thumb)
Various - A tribute to Budgie

(Thumb)
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast

(Thumb)
Iron Maien- Somewhere in Time


This is the way that most people arrange their physical collection and I think it would be great if this could be done in the extraordinary Mediaportal program. As you can se it also allows you to sort Tribute or Solo albumss where you want them to be, even though they are tagged differently.

Is this possible to do with Mediaportal

Thank you from Sweden

If you only got this few albums that the default album view isn't comfortable enough just configure your own album view where you remove the "grouping".

I'd not suggest to display more than 500 albums like that however to get fast database performance.

Well, I do have 2000 albums. I would like to try it out that way. Could you please tell me how I configure the 'Portal to behave like i want?

Thank you again
