RE: Better Handling Of Multi Disc Albums

Does this mean that now when I select an album with 2 (or more) discs that the next screen I see will show me "Disc 1" and "Disc 2" (and so on), and then selecting one of these will show me the tracks on that disc?

If so, will there be a way of disabling this? I much prefer the current method I use of using the "Disc #" tag, and seeing all tracks for all discs of the album in one list with the disc number prefixed to the track number.

    Yes by default

    Yes this can be done by removing the disc# view level. You will then be able to choose how you want the track name to be displayed so it will work exactly as it does now

    AW: Music Section gets some TLC

    Thanks for the work and the informative post (I really love those blog entries happening lately, great job guys!).
    I was never really able to understand or feel comfortable with the music section. It wasn't obvious how to use/setup so most of the time I just started last.fm and listened away :D Maybe this will change now ...

    Hi, great job, thanks for all the effort ! My thoughts :

    1. I often listen music using the music section, but I miss the possibilities to skip forward/backward in a song with same buttons like in TV, using left/right arrow but start smaller, like 15/30/60/90/120 secs etc. I always press the wrong buttons when moving between TV and music :-(

    2. My audio for TV goes via AC3 filter, have to, to compensate TV processing delay, and I also use the AC3 equalizer (not available on my sound system), but music player does not, so music is not equalized, having to turn the knobs until they wear out :) can you make audio go through AC3 also (or is that already possible today ? )

    3. hearing sound during FFWD without chopping is asking too much I guess. ( increase speed and downmix frequences :))

    You asked for it ( suggstions that is ) .........
