Enhancement Request - Add option to start with Album view #5

The current view of ARTIST>>ALBUM>>TRACKS works well but when albums are compilations of various artists, it breaks up the album, so all of the tracks are split up by Artist.

An option for a view of ALBUM>>TRACKS would resolve issue.

I understand the issue.

However there is already a way you can prevent the compilation albums from splitting up.

The first column of the library correspond in fact to the "Album artist" mp3 tag, which is often unset. When unset it fallbacks to the actual song artist: the "Artist" tag, which is what happens in your case.

So for the compilation no to split up you could set the "Album artist" tag of all the songs in the compilation to something common, in which case it will display correctly in the library while still displaying the correct artist in the player when playing a song.
