ivanhoe Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi,as a fan of classical music, and addicted maintainer of a media collection well tagged, I would definitely love to being able to browse my music by Composer. Is this something available (can't see it though) or planned ?As a user that just switched from iPhone to android (and still iPod user, which contain a much larger collection than that I can contain in my smartphone), browsing by composer is one of my main habits.BRPeppe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haddy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Support for extended/advanced metadata tags will arrive in a future version (I think in the next version, which is v2.1) Along by which same supported 'Extended' tags could be used as a smart playlist-Library category: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhoe Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 That'd be nice, but not exactly what I was talking about. Sometimes I happen to wetant to listen music composed by this classical composer or that other one, be it a major composer (e.g. Beethoven) or much lesser known one (e.g. Crusell). It'd be quite hindering in the user experience if I manually had to create a playlist (be it even a smart playlist based on tags) for every single composer, instead of just browse for them very much the same way I do for Artists or Genre.

So what you do mean (as I understand) is that you want a smart-playlsit for 'Composer' which upon the time of library scan (and with support for extended metadata) would categorically scan+detect the 'Composer' tag of found audio files and store the info in an 'Composer' smart-playlist for which upon entering the smart-playlist can be sorted by Composer's name etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhoe Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 To be honest, I made a mistake in this: my fault that I didn't see before that Browse by Composer is a feature already available in the current version of Poweramp, it's just disabled by default but can be enabled via config.I apologize for not having seen it before opening the thread.
