Show album in queue

[camaro322hp]

When I queue an artist to play all songs, it would be nice to see the album name in the Queue list. It's hard to tell where one album stops and the next begins in the queue, unless you know all song titles and the corresponding album by heart.

Thanks for your continuing work on this app - still the best I've seen.

i'd like to make all those views configurable with what is displayed, but until i can find a good way to dynamically generate the list views.. they will most likely stay with the metadata shown now

Just to make sure there was no confusion - I wasn't asking that the album be shown dynamically based on what I select to play. I was asking that the album ALWAYS be displayed in the queue view. Or have an option to always show or not, but maybe you were considering that "dynamic".

i was more talking about the queries to the database to gather the information. Information is spread out amounts many tables so the actual query has to be dynamically created based on what properties are needed to be retrieved.

Right now its hard coded since its the same every time. Yes I could hard code another one for including the album name, but then someone else is going to want the rating to show.. or something other field.. so I'd rather just do the whole thing properly to allow the user to set what fields they want shown on the view

The dynamic generation of the query isnt too hard (most of the code is already there for the smart playlists), the difficulty is in making the actual view look halfway decent and not be a clutter of information

understood. thank you.

another concept im throwing around (and i think there have been a few related suggestions) is to add the album concept to the queue. So instead of seeing every song in the queue.. you would just see the album (most likely would be expandable)

hmm, interesting idea. I think that would be cool as long as it is expandable as you mention.
