I'm rolling an enhancement request that was described in bug#6635c1 into a new request, targetted for 7.1. --------------- Here's what I would like for the Controller/Jive browse artists interface: Artist (only Go active) .-> Go -> ....Menu item with one artist .....(Add & Play act all on tracks with this exact artist) .....-> Go -> ........Album with at least one song by selected artist .........(Add & Play act on all tracks on this exact album with this exact artist) .........-> Go -> ............List songs by selected artist on this album .............(Add, Play, and Do (Do==Play) act on all selected tracks) ............Menu item like "All songs" .............(Add and Play act on all tracks on this exact album) .............-> Go -> ................Menu item like "Play all songs" .................(Add, Play, and Do (Do==Play) act on all tracks on this exact album) ................List all tracks on album .................(Add, Play, and Do (Do==Play) act on all selected tracks) ------------------- when the SC settings option is "List compilation albums under each artist", selecting Music Library->Artist->Compilation Album results in a track list from that compilation album that only contains the tracks by that artist. Suggestion here is to add an item that says "Play all songs" that would play all songs from the album regardless of artist.
This is a worthy enhancement request, but unfortunately won't be making it into 7.1. Retargetting for 7.2
punting to 7.3
this isn't going to be fixed by 7.3. retarget for 7.3.1
Is this needed? When navigating to an album from a track artist, you only see tracks by that artist on the album, but from there, you can visit the album and see all tracks on the album (and hit the play all button on the album). Adding a "Play all" when viewing only a sub-set of the songs on an album would seem confusing to me, because there's already an option to play "All Songs" which plays the sub-set of songs by that artist on the albums listed. NB. I haven't got experience of a SBC, but this is how it is in the WebUI and PlayerUI.
Changing target to next release
with only these exceptions, my bug list is being retargetted for 8.0 for 7.3.2 (very soon): https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7186 Browse albums/artists/genres/ years should remember previous state for 7.3.3 (later, but before 8.0): https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7139 Add editable "Network Settings" page https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7502 Add setup mode to set Static IPs (even if DHCP is present) https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7829 Jive menu broken if BLOCK_SIZE == list count + 1 and "Pla... https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8878 Party Mode https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10064 SqueezeCenter doesn't always auto-generate playerstatus w...

Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.
