Hello,
in two MusicBee versions I'm using, there is a difference in how tracks with different disc numbers are sorted/grouped in the main panel (i.e. when I click on an album and the tracks are displayed).
Example: Three discs, three tracks each.
Basically, the "old version" 3.0.5995 sorted all tracks top-down, indicating groups with empty lines:
1 Disc 1, Track 1 6 Disc 2, Track 3
2 Disc 1, Track 2
3 Disc 1, Track 3 7 Disc 3, Track 1
8 Disc 3, Track 2
4 Disc 2, Track 1 9 Disc 3, Track 3
5 Disc 2, Track 2
The "new version" 3.4.7805 sorts tracks left-to-right and creates a new group for each, well, group.
1 Disc 1, Track 1 3 Disc 1, Track 3
2 Disc 1, Track 2
4 Disc 2, Track 1 6 Disc 2, Track 3
5 Disc 2, Track 2
7 Disc 3, Track 1 9 Disc 3, Track 3
8 Disc 3, Track 2
How can I restore the behavior of the old version?I would like to keep multiple columns, so displaying tracks in a single column is not a suitable solution for me.
I would also like to continue using newer versions of the software, since they have some nice features.
I tried several (sub-)groupings with Album, Artist, Disc#, Disc-Track#, but I couldn't get the sorting to work the way I'm used to. I tried changed in the following sections of the Preferences, without success.
Layout (1), main panel, files: Customize Layout...,
- in Artwork: show the tracks for the selected album or artist, directly under the selected album or artist, Show Settings
- in Album and Tracks
I think this is supposed to be a feature, see
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=18462.0, changes since v3.0 Update 1- expanded panel layout handling for multi-disc or sub-header grouping is improved so each disc/group starts on a new lineHowever, I'm relying on spatial memory, and using the newer versions I cannot find my tracks anymore..
Kind regards
