Jexxster Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yeah, I can imagine that would be difficult. I only rip full CDs, not single tracks, so everything in album mode works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmalibu Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Am i yet to find an effective config though, to handle both single\various artists\soundtracks AND albums in one playlist. 585914535[/snapback] i'm using all these in one playlist with navigator suite, "all music" in database view doesn't look like a mess now =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Sagy Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Jexxster: I have alot of songs i liked off a certain album, where i didnt like the rest, lots of anime opening\ending songs etc, which are not albums, but i dislike having them in a different playlist since i often set foobar to random playing and let it loose ;) mitchmalibu: yeah, have seen navigator's popularity. Care to post a screenshot of how albums and singles look in it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acedriver Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Navigator suite does handle those mix collection really well. It uses trackgain info or "singletrack=1" tag to differentiate single from full album. here's my config, all singles at the top followed by albums.

mitchmalibu Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 all in one screenshot simple album, single track and various artists album (i use trackgain / albumgain to diferenciate single and album, and "ALBUM ARTIST" tag for various artists album) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Sagy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 acedriver, yours looks mostly how id like it ;) How does it handle soundtrack\various artist albums though ? mitchmalibu: can i decide which tags differnciate those ? i currently have %singletrack% for singles, and %various% for VA albums.

(lyx proposed to standardize tag formats and proposed the album artist tag as a base for various artists album detection) i guess you can also use the tag detection included in navigator suite (used when you put your "var art" albums in a separate folder with the name including the string "various" or "v-a") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Sagy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Im trying to avoid changing the dir structure. I could use the ALBUM ARTIST tag style instead of the %various% i have now, thats not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidy` Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Navigator with album / single (%singletrack%) / various (%various%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Sagy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Cerebrus: Could you post your FCS ? ill load it for the column settings and strings, and rearrange the panels like i use them ;) acedriver: what does the ALBUM ARTIST tag contain ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmalibu Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 by default i put "various artists" but you can also put the name of the album maker and it'll appear in the album mode column (like in my previous screenshot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Sagy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Oh, i see, it simply uses whatever inside that tag as the name for it. That could also do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acedriver Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 yes.. you can put anything there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Sagy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 (edited) Yeah, now using Navigator Suite v1.2.2 myself. Simply removed all useless tags from all my files, added singletrack=yes to relevent files, added ALBUM ARTIST=Various Artists to soundtracks\other various artist albums, and sorted by display name - perfect. Great work on lyx's part.. ^^ Now i only need to make a nice custom color scheme for it, and ill publish the screeny here for anyone to see ;) EDIT: here we go. Modded it a bit (bigger column sizes, no dynamic now playing symbols instead of tracknumber) and added my custom color scheme.

miscellanea Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I stripped out Navigator Suite a lot and got what I wanted, besides scrolling became much more smooth. There is little original code left, only a part of colour generation in Globals. :p After that, I added some colour scheme others posted here and Hydrogenaudio, which are not included in "official" one. Mine is very different from original but colour code is compatible, so it works the same. And thanks to those who posted custom colour code. :) In this screenshot (so large!) playlist 1 to 13 are "album", and 14 to 21 are "single". It shows as single if at least one of following is met : 1) file has SINGLE or SINGLETRACK tag 2) file doesn't have ALBUM tag 3) file doesn't have TRACKNUMBER tag 4) file has TRACKNUMBER tag but the number is zero 5) file has ALBUM but not TRACKNUMBER tag 6) file has TRACKNUMBER but not ALBUM tag It also shows as Various Artists if file has VARIOUS or ALBUM ARTIST tag. I add the config. Any feedback will be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
