jegor Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but certainly it is a changed behavior from previous version.In library view, when I chose to play all albums from one artist Poweramp used to play all songs from first album, than all songs from second etc. In version 2.0.1. it plays all the first songs from all albums from that artist, then all second songs etc. Even when I enqueue one artist I get queue with all first songs from all albums followed by second songs from all albums etc.All files are MP3 VBR with all tags defined correctly. The device is Huawei Ideos X5, stock Android 2.2.1. Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/2037-multiple-albums-from-one-artist/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 What sort order have you got selected from within the artist view? There are different sort options for the top level - i.e. artist names - and for the second level - i.e. song names.Andre Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/2037-multiple-albums-from-one-artist/#findComment-7587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jegor Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Within artist view there are By name and By date added settings. I use By name. For the albums view I use By artist and View as grid. For album songs view I use By track #.

andrewilley Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 What I'm saying is there is a different second level of sorting for 'Artist'. The top level (for sorting the artist names) has only By Name and By Date Added, but if you click on a specific Artist to view all their songs, then you get another sort level with different List Options - such as Name, Artist (bit pointless that one!), Year, Date Added.Max: I'd suggest that 'Artist' in that second-level sort List Options should be replaced with 'Album' (for sorting by Album then by song title) and perhaps also a new 'Album/Track' (for sorting by album first, then by track number).Andre Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/2037-multiple-albums-from-one-artist/#findComment-7599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazar B Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I agree that an artist-album sort makes a lot of sense. Particularly if that can be set as default (with other options available which could also be set as default if the user wishes).

MKairys Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I wonder if this addresses my issue. I often listen to audiobooks, multiple folders per book (disc 1, disc 2, etc.) Previous version would automatically move from one disc's folder to the next; I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with new version.

wvan Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I fully recognize that there are many people with their own view as to how to navigate their music collection. But I have a hard time understanding why the default order isn't: genre -> artist -> album -> track (#) Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/2037-multiple-albums-from-one-artist/#findComment-8330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jegor Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hate to tell it, but my plea was not heard. If I wasn't clear enough, this is what I would like to see in next version of Poweramp.I have multiple albums from one artist in my library. When I long press on that artist and choose play I want it to play all songs from first to last from album A, then all songs from first to last from album B and all songs from first to last from album C.The way it is now it plays first songs from all albums then second etc.I repeat that this is the case since ver. 2.0. On 1.4 it was as I am asking you to implement now.

jegor Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Please! Is it possible to get the playing order to be like it was up to ver. 1.4?I'm not asking you to make it behave the way I want. Just give me the option to sort the songs from one artist by albums, when there are multiple albums by that artist.I haven't seen any player, be it on PC or portable media player that sorts songs like Poweramp 2.

Mmmm Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well, I can confirm this behaviour, I can't think of a way to get it to do what you want - seems a bit silly to me - only to say that if you have artists in separate folders then it works as you want in folders mode!
