Ok, commited some changes to the SVN.
To group your Artists / Albums / Genres / Song, do the following.
In Configuration -> Music -> Music Views define a new view, or modify an existing one.
As Operator select "group"
In Restriction enter for how many characters you want to group.
1=The first character, typically used for a Base / Main index.
2=grouoing is done on 2 characters, etc.
As an example an Artist View:
Selection Operator Restriction
----------- ----------- -------------
artist group 1
artist
album
title
This would show:
A
B
C
.
.
selecting A would then show all artists names, that begin with "A", then show all albums of the selected artist and show all songs of the selected album.
Another example of a Song View:
Selection Operator Restriction
----------- ----------- -------------
title group 1
title group 2
title
Selecting this view shows first the main index, like:
0
1
A
B
C
.
.
Selecting "A" shows the next index / group level, grouped by all songs starting with an "A" and further 2 characters, as set in the restriction of the second line:
ABA ------> Abacab from Genesis
Abagqobhi from Maskandi
ABO ------> About a girl from Nirvana
About a boy from Patti Smith
I've got very good performance, compared to listing everything.
Please let me know, what you think.
thanks,
Helmut
