[Bug 253167] Re: Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations
mdshort You're right. Only thing you're wrong about: Not all the players use it. I don't know ANY linux player using the albumartist tag correctly or standard-like. rhythmbox doesn't - and the developers don't even care commenting on this, the issue is up for years banshee handles the tag, but you can't use it to browse your music - developers don't care at all, though reported many times exaile - the same mpd - still buggy on that guayadeque - YEAH!, but still in beta and not working correctly on recognizing the tag within the various formats (well: it's a mess within the formats anyway!) there are more, but I haven't found a singel player for ubuntu able to use the AlbumArtist tag efficiently and I have filed alot of bug and wishlist and forum threads - nobody really is answering to that issue ... It's like touchning something that shouldn't be touched ... I don't know it's frustrating ... cya -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Any idea on when this might be fixed? This is a bug, not a feature! Any players worth their salt know how to sort by the BAND id3 tag (i.e. Album Artist)--it is an unspoken standard. Dealing with the thousands of artists in my 49.6GB collection is a nightmare, might as well use nautilus. -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 253167] Re: Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations
This is actually The Main Thing that bugs me about Rhythmbox. The way I arrange my CDs or records, I split them up into two sections. One for single-artist albums (we'll call this Group A) and one for compilations (Group B). Within Group A, I alphabetize by album artist, then sort from oldest to newest within that. For Group B, I alphabetize by album name. Rhythmbox is a great player, but it's very difficult to organize/access my music in any sort of satisfying way given the way it blends everything together. If I want to find a Group B album, I shouldn't have to sort through all of the mixed-in Group A album titles. Especially when I have a lot more single-artist albums than compilations. And when I'm looking for a Group A album, I shouldn't have to wade through a bunch of artists I don't really care about, but who only show up in the list because of one track on a compilation. I think fixing this organization scheme would save a lot of people a lot of time and brain cells. It's also connected to an issue I have with Rhythmbox iPod management for which I'm about to open another bug. -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253167] Re: Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations
This way of sorting is really a pain ! For people just buing single mp3s from common download locations the actual browse by artist works allright, though even in this case you want to get rid of the various featuring this guy or that guy-stuff as appendix to the artist you want to look for. if you, like me, are an album guy, then sorting by album artist gets mandatory for the reasons stated by the op. I believe it should even be the default setting for the browser. iTunes does it this way for many years now and there's a lot to say against Apple but they put a huge effort into researching the best usability. Still ALL linux music management programs ignore this albumartist issues. I strongly believe rhythmbox (as banshee / exaile / gmpd ...) should sort by album artist by default (like iTunes does) and offer an easy way (by clicking on the browserbar e.g.) to choose another criteria like artist, composer (to be even more usable and less restrictive than iTunes!)

This sorting by artists is so silly! It doesnt make any sense to anyone. Banshee, exaile and many others do the same thing, so i just browse in nautilus to the folders and play files with totem.

[Bug 253167] Re: Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations
This is the only serious reason why I do not stick with Rhythmbox as my main music player. When your collection is organised as Artist/Album from music ripped from original CDs, this option is a must have in a music player. As soon as you have some compilations and movie soundtrack, it is absolutly impossible to browse your collection by song artist only. In this case, having a 3 columns browser with artistalbum|artist|album is essential because you can tag your compilations with Various Artists in artistalbum. Since the UI already allows a 3 column browser with genre|artist|album, it may possible to change the genre column for the artistalbum or simply add another browser option. I'm currently giving a serious try to Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 10.04. It is a great application and I love it. But without this, it it totaly unusable, considering how my collection is built. -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Removed duplicate as it's not related. Is anybody working on this? Seems a bit strange that the default music player for Ubuntu does not have the ability to sort by Album Artist via a column where as other music players such as Banshee do. It cannot be that difficult to do? ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 228422 Rhythmbox doesn't deal sanely with multiple artist CDs -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 228422 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228422 This is definitely a different requirement to bug #228422. This is about rhythmbox listing the tracks, not about ripping from CD. There is basic need lacking in rhythmbox to list by album artist. Listing by artist shows all the one-hit-wonders from compilation albums and it is a PITA. Fix: As is: Edit / Preferences / Browser views: Artists and albums Genres and artists Genres, artists and albums Suggested: Edit / Preferences / Browser views: Artists and albums Genres and artists Genres, artists and albums Genres, album artist and albums Need this Why? I have a collection of about 300 CDs all ripped to my server. So, approx 200 artists that I'm actually interested in. But, trying to find my music, rhythmbox shows a list of over 1000 artists. 800 of them I would NEVER seek out to play. It's a real pain! It gets worse with remixes, where an album artist does remixes, and so it's not a compilation but their own original work in collaboration. E.g. Paul Oakenfold A lively mind. The Album artist is Paul Oakenfold, because he did the mixing and released the album. But, each artist who wrote the original before it was remixed is listed individually in the artist field. Now this is NOT a compilation album, but, trying to play the album can only be done by looking up the album name. So, If I want to play all Paul Oakefold's work back-to back, the only way is to use album artist. Or, corrupt my ID3 tags as a workaround. Which I don't want to do because it works perfectly on other players. -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: rhythmbox For guest artists on an album or compilations Apple allows definition of an album artist and artist for each track. Rhythmnbox only allows browsing by track artists so many artists appear listed with only one track. Example, Red Book by Texas: - 1. 036 - 2. Getaway - 3. Can't Resist - 4. What About Us - 5. Cry - 6. Sleep - 7. Get Down Tonight - 8. Nevermind - 9. Bad Weather - 10. Master Thief - 11. Just Holding On - 12. Red Book + 1. 036 - Texas + 2. Getaway - Texas + 3. Can't Resist - Texas + 4. What About Us - Texas + 5. Cry - Texas + 6. Sleep - Texas featuring Paul Buchanan + 7. Get Down Tonight - Texas + 8. Nevermind - Texas + 9. Bad Weather - Texas + 10. Master Thief - Texas + 11. Just Holding On - Texas + 12. Red Book - Texas The sixth track has artist Texas featuring Paul Buchanan whilst all others are Texas. I want to browse by album artist selecting Texas and seeing all 12 tracks on the album, not just the 11 that match. -- Rhythmnbox sort by Album Artist for guest/compilations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
