Albums Broken Up
« on: May 04, 2007, 09:28:20 am »
I have about 500 albums in my Juke.   Of those 500,  some 80 or more are single albums that,  for whatever reason,  is broken up in to 2 albums in WinCab?   Album one will have songs 1-12 and album 2 will have 13-15 (but listed as 1-3)...am I doing something wrong or is 12 the maximum song number per "album"?

The default max per album is 14, but it will be reduced automatically if there isn't physically room based on the size of the title card and font size.  (The debug log will note if the max had to be reduced.) You can reduce the font size or increase the size of the card to get more tracks in.

I am using the Album Cover Vertical layout.  It shows 3 albums per page.  Are there any other layouts that show 2 albums per page but allow more listings per album?

Not optimized for a vertical display.  Try changing these settings in the skin file:

SongsPerStrip=15
FontSize=16
SmallFontSize=14

Does that help?
