The default display for MinimServer is tag view. This shows your library as albums and tracks (the view you prefer). By selecting folder view, you are choosing not to use the default display but to show your library as folders and files, similar to what you would see in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder.

The big thing here is track numbers. For me, it's a serious drawback if the track number isn't displayed and frankly it is unimaginable to me why they are ever surpressed. Even on classical, I find on some albums the track names are so similar that if you're selecting one at a time, it's hard to know where you got to without numbers.

You say the default is tag view but my default has no track numbers. It does have a tiny picture which doesn't offer much useful because they're all identical anyway.

To get track numbers its another two clicks at least. ie. => complete album => album icon again. Or from folder view => Tag view => Album icon => Album icon again => track numbers (3 clicks).

I don't need procedures just to get near essential track numbers. Is there a way to tell minimserver I always want track numbers? or better still, full tag view. Would it be impossibly hard to code a user option in settings to replace the little pictures with track numbers where they exist?

Thanks.

Bob.
