[REQ] Enable album view on 'Audiobook' type on iPod

Post by mavhas »

Hi!
This is actually an alternative request that would solve my prime issue, raised in the feature request here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=100490

I raised this separately as I have no idea which is simpler to implement (if at all!). Either would solve my issue.

The request is as per the issue I mentioned in this forum topic viewtopic.php?f=33&t=100433 :
I would like to ask if it's possible to implement/enable album or folder view for the file type Audiobook to carry over to the iPod Classic on syncing.

Background can be found in viewtopic.php?f=33&t=100433, but in summary:
bookmarking carry-over to iPod on syncing only works on filetype 'audiobook'.
However the specific audiobook subcategory/menu (which is separate from the music or genres menu) on an iPod shows separate files only. Not an album view. This is a nightmare to manage and scroll through.

iPod: Classic 7th gen (modified by swapping the 160 GB HD for a 480 GB solid state disk).
