Where is the Album Artist node in the Media Tree?

I thought the Media Tree was supposed to have separate nodes for 'Album Artist' and for 'Artist'. Is that correct? How do I get it to show them?

The closest thing I have is single node called "Artist & Album Artist".

When I go to Tools > Options > Library > Media Tree, none of these are on the list.

I believe that the tree, as it comes, only has 1 as you have seen. If you want other you should be able to create your own.

In MM3, right-click the Library node (in the tree) -> Options -> Choose Tree Nodes.

Yeah I still use MM3, but I guess in MM4 it might be something similar.

There is no node called 'Library'.

There is however a node called Music, but right-clicking doesn't bring you to anything that lets you choose an Album Artist node.

Does this mean I need to downgrade? Having an Album Artist node is a dealbreaker.

In MM4, right-click the Music collection (in the tree) -> Options -> Edit Collection Choose ->Tree Nodes - Tick the Album Artist box

Is that the free version or the paid?

Both. IN MM4 you need to right click > Options > Edit collection

That's not true. In MM4 it's in the paid version only.

It is true. You will find that option in both the free and paid edition. You just can't make any changes if you have the free version.

No it's not. I appreciate your effort but it's not helping anyone to tell them what they're seeing on their computer. When I go to Music > right click > options > edit collection, I get a pop-up window telling me I must upgrade to Gold in order to edit collections. Period. Nothing more. I don't know how else I can explain it.

Modifying Collections (ie. what you see in the Media Tree) is a Gold only feature, however the free version should have the Artist & Album Artist node covering both.

What I'm saying is that "Edit collection" will be found in both the free and Gold edition of MM. It's just that you need a license in order to actually make any changes there.

Your MM3 - is that the free or the paid version?

In other words you're telling me how to do something on a piece of software that I don't have.

You do have it. The feature is just locked because you haven't got a license.
