Subsonic 4.7 has some known deficiencies if you sort your music yourself into folders
(http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... 0&start=30)
I'm kind of using 4.6 as the "gold standard" for the behavior I want -- everything is listed in filename order. This is a hold over from the dark ages of using Apache::MP3.
Madsonic has added features to combat this (bravo!). However, there are still some minor issues in the sorting (http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... 69&p=53994).
I think the root cause is that the system assumes that a subfolder is a grouping of albums from a single artist. This allows the front end to streamline the display a little. However, for a lot of us a subfolder is a grouping of albums by genre, so we need to see the full folder name.
Here is my file structure as an example:
Code: Select all
/
/ Blues /
/ Blues / Some Artist - 2002 - Some Album /
/ Blues / Some Artist - 2002 - Some Album / 01-Some Song.mp3
- From the root, "Blues" is listed correctly and I don't get the 4.7 behavior of dumping all the artists together into a flat list. This is great.
- From "Blue", I get the list of albums but the sorting is off. Some of them have truncated names like "2002 - Some Album"
Thanks,
