I am trying to sort my main view but can't get it back to it's previous state!
I want the album covers showing in a stack for each album artist, in a continuous list.
When you click on the artist stack it then opens the list of all albums.

I can't seem to get the correct grouping and sort!
Hope I have explained myself clearly enough!

Thanks

Steven

click the text at the top left of the main panel and choose "Album and Tracks" or maybe "Artists" ?

Album and tracks gives an artist sub-header then a list of albums and tracks.
Artists lists them all by track artist (so individual covers for feat artists)

It is album artists I want them grouped by in stacks.  You would then double click on the stack to open out all the albums.The album artist would then sit in a continuous list of stacked albums, with the top alphabetical album cover showing.

Are you looking for something like this:

A single click opens a panel with all the albums from that artist.

To enable it, select 'Artists' from the drop-down in the main panel header bar and group by 'Album Artist.' You can further choose to have the artist picture showing or the album cover. Again, use the drop-down and select 'customize panel' and then select which you want.

You can set Artists to group by Album Artist rather than track Artist:




Ah, and phred beat me to it with the album covers setting.
