RE: Please help me start up with tags
Thank you both!
In short I see so many filtering options that it dazzles me. I prefer a much cleaner view with lesser options. But I think I'm on the right path! As a control point I use 8-Player pro on IOS and sometime I use Lumin App. A smart TV I can use for verification if grouping and sorting is the same on both the apps and elsewhere. From my previous chapter with Sonos devices I could in the Sonos app always play hi level folders. I miss this option in uPnp streaming sofar. I'm sure though this can be programmed around. My fav example for playing a hi level folder is e.g. having a folder that is named e.g. "Weekend". I would move in and out of this folder my fav cd folder for the weekend and would like to in one go create a playlist for it, so without having to redo all tags or to have to move all albums one by one into a new playlist. I think with MinimServer I do need to dig in deeper or do some additional browsing up to the album level and put albums in the playlist one by one. But, everything I guess will be possible if MinimServer is set up correctly! Meanwhile I was able to implement some basic tagging, learning on the fly. What I have tagged for some albums are: Album Track Artist Track Title Track # Genre Album Artist To keep my logic during browsing I have "misused" the Album Tag by putting "Artist - Album Name" in this Tag. With the above I can in the indexed selection e.g. quickly move to a genre, and from there find what I need. Say that I want to create a playlist of an entire genre, I notice that there is an option to browse to Genre, then select the Genre, thereunder is a folder [n] Albums, [n] items, Album. I notice if I put into a playlist the [n] items, that it sorts everything A-Z by Track Title. Can you change this to sort by Genre, Album, Track # also? In MinimServer properties I have IndexTags = Genre, Album. and when browsing I see results in the following order: [no tag] [folder view] [n] Albums [n] Items Album Genre In addition in the Lumin App I find Song: [n] - with note the number of songs is duplicate of what I have, is this a MinimServer database setup issue? Album: [n] - this is useful AlbumArtist : [n] - I do not need this, can I turn it off? Genre: [n] - this is useful Recently added: - I do not need this Last modified: - I do not need this Folder view. Short version: How can I sort by Genre, Album name, Track # items that I take from an itemized overview into a well-sorted playlist? How do I get rid of -for me- unused browsing options. |
