Description Simon Turner 2008-01-24 22:37:27 UTC

I often tag a track/album with multiple genres and multiple album artists (uisdng a specified delimeter). I can end up a listing like this in the Track Details screen:

Genre: Choral

Genre: Classical

Genre: Christmas

Album Artist: Kings Choir Singers

Album Artist: Bach

Album Artist: Fred Bloggs


Could this be presented like this instead perhaps:


Genre: Choral, Classical, Christmas

Album Artist: Kings Choir Singers, Bach, Fred Bloggs

Let's look at this post 7.0.  I"m a little concerned that this will cause scrolling and actually having multiple lines would be better.

Comment 2 Simon Turner 2008-01-25 21:56:10 UTC

It wil cause scrolling but imho it's bettter to have the machine automatically scroll the text horizontally than to have me forced to manually scroll the screen vertically! I'm lazy like that. The automatic horizontal scrolling looks cool too.  :-)

Dean, should we implement this?

Reset priority

Comment 5 Ben Klaas 2008-03-27 07:13:07 UTC

personally, I don't think this is a bug, but it's definitely not a 7.0.1 bug.

Comment 6 Ben Klaas 2008-06-06 12:14:35 UTC

actually, each of those Genres are "drillable", so we'd actually be removing functionality if this bug were fixed.

Moving to WONTFIX
