Group only by album by default #750
Comments
I would recommend to just retag your library, but since I keep getting duplicate issues regarding this again and again I'm going to just switch the behavior to group by album by default. Seems like more users expect Auxio to blindly group by album rather than album and artist. |
I second this change, it's quite annoying when on of my albums breaks up in 10 different albums because of how the apps sorts. This will definitely be good for UX and UI |
I still have this issue in Version 3.4.3. It makes more sense to group albums by album name not combining it with the artists name. Especially Compilation Albums with many different Artists gets messy. I think it's a better UX/UI choice. |
I think the original reason I went with it was actually technical, judging by the code. It's easier to group up albums if I have common artist info. But I've been needing to redo the grouping code because of #555, so it doesn't matter. |
what if 2 separate artists release an album with the same name? if this becomes default behaviour, i think it should be configurable. i'd suggest not grouping albums with different mbids (however, if an album is missing a mbid and another one has it, they should be merged. just not different mbids) |
Here is my logic @KraXen72: Auxio's music loader is too geared towards nerdier libraries. Not that those libraries should be neglected, but I think if I want to gracefully degrade it shouldn't be at the cost of non-nerdy libraries. Music nerds with well-tagged libraries are probably more capable of diagnosing an issue than a casual user. Thus, nerdy edge cases like two artists making an album with the same name should degrade rather than more common edge cases. As for MBIDs, I'll keep splitting by them, but only if all tracks have MBIDs. This is strict, but also the failure mode is pretty obvious and diagnosable by music nerds that will actually run into this. |
It's really annoying. Even if two artists have the same album name, it's much easier to rename them than to have 100500 albums with one song. |
I agree @steam3d. Really sorry for being stubborn about this for a long time. |
Description
If an app gathers details to organize songs into albums, that's wonderful. But if it fetchs that all songs, in an album, must have the same album artist's name, it's not doing the right thing. This way, it ends up splitting songs into different albums.
The rule that all songs in an album must have the same artist doesn't work everywhere. For example, in India, Bollywood movie albums often feature 10-11 singers.
I suggest "Auxio" should just gather the album name, like other apps do, without trying to match the album artist name.
Problem solved
No response
Other implementations
Auxio should match albums based only on their names, similar to what other apps like 'Grammaphone/Accord do.
Benefit
For efficiently find song in single folder.
