Questions / Group all tracks in a compilation album

« on: December 24, 2019, 05:05:16 AM »

Here's another issue I can't figure out, after importing my library from iTunes.  I have numerous albums flagged as "compilations" in iTunes where the individual tracks are from varying artists.  iTunes shows these grouped into a single album if you choose the iTunes albums view, or as a single album under "Compilations" if you choose the artist view.  Musicbee, however, seems to always split out the tracks and group them by individual track artist, regardless of whether you're trying to group by album or album artist instead.

e.g. I have a compilation album titled "111 Classical Masterpieces" (not surprisingly, comprised of 111 tracks) ... I want some way, in Musicbee, to click on this album title, and see just the tracks in the album, but I can't figure out how to do this.  Sorting by either "album" or "album artist" still seems to actually prefer grouping tracks by individual track artist name, rather than by album title or album artist.

In preferences, I have have grouping (under sorting/grouping tab) set the to the default which is 1. "album artist", 2. "album", and the checkbox enabled to set iTunes compilation album artist name to "Various Artists".

Here are some screenshots where I try sorting by "album" (which I would expect to group by album name, but it doesn't appear to do that) and "album artist".  In both cases I have "album cover" selected in the view pane.

Questions / Show all songs

« on: December 24, 2019, 03:32:13 AM »

I'm surprised I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere!  Is there a way to get a simple list of all the songs in your library, like the iTunes songs view?  Or, barring that, can I get a list view of my highest rated songs?
