Description vagskal 2009-06-19 03:08:57 UTC

In Song info screen make also the Song title clickable/searchable, like Artist, Albumartist and Composer already are. The resulting screen, when clicking on the Song title, should show all Albums which contain a Song with that title. If at all possible it would be nice to have the track artist for that Song displayed instead of Various artists for compilations.

This is about the TrackInfo menu for Controller (and iPeng).
I believe it's the same as the Web Interface, yet I'm not sure about it.

In the web interface when you click a track title, the track details (codec, bitrate, file size, location, etc.) are displayed in the browse pane.  I don't think you'd want to change that.

I believe this bug is really for the controller/SqueezePlay rather than Web Interface.
Vagskal originally filed a ticket against iPeng and I told him to file it here since iPeng just uses the TrackInfo menu.

I think the basic idea is not to replace anything but to add the requsted functionality to the TrackInfo Menu.

It is true that this request is aimed at achieving additional functionality in iPeng (and certainly not removing any information). But the Song info screen in SC web UI - or for that matter any other screen I am aware of - does not contain any way to easily search for all songs with the same title.  The aim of my request is to achieve such functionality, primarily in iPeng but also in the web UI (without having to use the search function).

One way to do this would be to insert in the Song info Screen an additional item in the header, above "Album: [Current album]", for "Song: [Title of current Song]" and make that item clickable/searchable like the Albumartist, Artist, Composer, Genre and Year items already are in the header of that screen.
