kamil_w Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 In the library there are views:- Artists,- Albums by Artist.Both of them are unusable and useless for me. I really, really miss for support for "album artist view".What is difference between "artist" and "album artist":http://forums.ilounge.com/itunes-mac-pc/215223-whats-difference-between-artist-album-artist.htmlI will be grateful for adding support of this field.

wvan Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I would really not like to be forced to use album artist. Certainly fine as an option, but I like to know and navigate every artist on every compilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamil_w Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Who talks about forcing? I'm not saying to set this view as the only one. I just would like to have it as option. It can be even hide as default like sorting "Albums by artist". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchoadley Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've been waiting 2 years now for a music player on Android to support this feature. Player pro has a broken implementation of it which was really deceiving. I can't imagine this being that complicated to implement, and I usually have to default to folder tree organization in order to get to what I am looking for quickly. Speaking of which, folder tree organization doesn't work properly in Poweramp, I'll post in bug section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovershark Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 x1000. It should be pretty simple to add this category to the top level of the library. I would REALLY like to see all of my 'Various Artists' albums in one place instead of a bunch of artists with one track each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obdan_van_darg Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd appreciate this too.Especially if you're using Poweramp to play your iTunes library it's kinda confusing at the beginning. In iTunes all artists are properly grouped while in Poweramp one album gets split in several parts because of featurings or other things. An album artist option (maybe just in "list" properties) woul be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaldron Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've been waiting 2 years now for a music player on Android to support this feature. Player pro has a broken implementation of it which was really deceiving.Same here. I looked at switching to Player Pro just for this feature...but as you note, it doesn't work. Google Music supports it, but is far too bare bones in other areas. So I'm sticking with Poweramp, hoping we'll see it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sminc Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 +1 for this, would really like to see all my 1-hit-wonders from the compilation albums gone from my Artists list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NioBium Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Want it badly. Right now it is quite difficult to navigate through the library.What I really crave is having an option of providing a custom sequence of custom tags to be used to granulate the library, potentially with a different sorting (e.g. navigate using %album artist%\%album%\%track% sorted by %album artist%\%date%\%discnumber%-%tracknumber%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 What a great idea, a 'custom sort' option where you can create your own multi-level order from a list of parameters. Using a minus sign before the % to mean reverse-order for that parameter I'd assume.Really, really, good idea!Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhrn Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes please! Album artist support would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickg Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 This would be a very good, practical option to have.I didn't see the need until I added a few compilation albums ('various' artist) to my library! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultradust Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Adding to the clamor... I would definitely like to see Album Artist tag supported in Poweramp. I'll be a paying customer if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowjoel Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm hoping that Poweramp would be able to be the market leader in terms of media organisation too, in addition to it being a good playback app. I also know other friends who would be more than willing to purchase a copy if proper album artist tag support is implemented.

@Poweramp2 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We're working on improving these features with 3.0 so no worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribosradagast Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 +1 for thisAdmin, when can we expect 3.0 to be out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papatel Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bump. Not having an album artist view is really a show stopper. When I list by artist I have 100's (yes literally 100s) of one shot artists from various electronic compilations. With all this noise in my artist list I can't navigate easily through my collection to find what I want. For these compilations, there is always an overall DJ/Artist that put the compilation together that I want to list by. Hence "album artist". This should be a very quick and easy addition.

nexpro Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yes, yes, yes!This is definitely a feature I would appreciate. Would be very beneficial for me if as well as listing items by Artists you could choose to view a list in order of Album artists.I have loads of classical compilations with various Artists and would like to have the option to be able to see all these albums listed together.Very big fan of how you can view list by Artists but then order the albums so all albums by the same artists show in a row - would be one great step further to be able to do this with Album Artists.LETS DO IT!

Marcel-X Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 +1I'm amazed the "album artist" field support is not implemented yet. Now I realize why my artist list is that long!Also I'm glad the moderator subscribes the importance of the correct ID3v2 implementation.But, can't this be fixed in a maintanance update v2.0.9?I love to test the v3 beta, but doubt if such large overhaul will be bug free during the lifespan of my phone!So please, make sure the v2.x will be kept availlable as the "classic version".
