Seperate Singles & Albums in Windows Media Center
« on: April 08, 2007, 06:48:35 pm »
My Friend have recently brougt an HTPC based machine with MCE software installed. We got tagged most files today, but is is anyware to seperate Albums and Singles?

Singles list just very bad in Album list, since I tried to use one album, but the same album may list more than once time (normal nature, since more bands can createde a album with same name). If they could been joinde, so it only list one album with same name, it would been good, but I guess it have no change in MCE?

Otherway, do is exists a plugin, wich can create a new entry in the mainlist to start an external app up (without using running Program Application (using shortscut), wich didden't work with some games).

NB. He may wont want to use an External app, unless it an intergrated plugin or such.

Could you lump all singles into a single album?  Lets say your structure for Albums is Artist\Album\(all the tracks.mp3)
Then just create one called Various\Singles\(all the singles.mp3).

Just a thought.

Yes, I allready did that, because I known it would sort that way.

The main problem is really I wich to there was one album on the liest that names. Otherwice We got about 60 albums with same names wich each artist in the singles.

That is the problem, and is most normal for most album based software out here.

Maybe I maybe should try to write a html plugin (based wich same thing in my next Jukebox App, MultiJuke to support these singles, so they can been seperated? But that would not in first version.
