Re: [slim] Can't see 'No album' songs when browsing Music Folder

Is your Server Settings - Formatting - Guess Tags Formats (bottom of the
page) set correctly to take these into account?

There's also a setting to group No Album files by artist.  What worked
for me was Server Settings - Behavior - Compliations - "Albums that
contain songs that are tagged with a band may be listed under that band
name or with the other artists for that album. The band tag is also
known as TPE2 and may appear as the "album artist" in some software."
(second setting) set to "List albums by band".

[slim] Can't see 'No album' songs when browsing Music Folder

[tigersim]

Hi all,

I have a folder in my music archive like this:

.../lossy/tracks//

These are one-off songs that don't belong to an album. In fact I've
blanked the album field in the tags, to make sure they don't pollute my
'Albums' view.

Problem is, when I try to browse these songs using the Browse->Music
Folder option, I just get 'Empty' under the artist name.  This means
the only way to find these songs is under:

Browse -> Artists ->  -> "No Album" -> 

but then that mixes them up with hundreds of album artists :(

Any idea how to get my tunes to show up in the Music Folder view?

Many thanks!

PS I tried to search for similar probs in the forum but the search
function was returning a blank page!
