[REQ] Node "Title" is missing [#18760]

Post by el_mundi »

I am missing the node "Titles" of MM4, which contained as subnodes the first letters of the songs in the collection in alphabetical order. These subnodes reduced the number of files to deal with when searching for similar or misspelled names.

I would love to see the "Titles" return in one of the future releases.

If you were wanting to browse just tracks whose titles starts with something specific you could use the Advanced Search facility (the funnel on the toolbar).

Example here I have filtered to tracks whose name start with "hap"

Or you could create a Collection which contains only track whose title start with A, etc

I know that neither of these are as easy to use as just browsing a node, but they are workarounds if you are have a problem that needs fixing.

Hello Barry,
But your suggestion doesn't make sense. To get a result, I have to click 6x.
Detours are always very time-consuming.
Shouldn't a new version always bring improvements? But the tried and tested of MM4 is not adopted here.

Aber Dein Vorschlag macht keinen Sinn. Um ein Ergebnis zu erhalten, muss ich 6x klicken.
Umwege sind immer sehr zeitintensiv.
Sollte eine neue Version nicht immer Verbesserungen bringen? Aber hier wird Bewährtes von MM4 nicht übernommen.

Check out my MM4 version: 1x click and I have the result.

Sorry. My suggestion was lost in transaction to Portuguese I think. :)

I wasn't meaning to suggest that my workaround suggestions were a good long-term solution to your complaint.

I was just saying that was a way to achieve what you were wanting in MM5, if you needed something NOW while waiting for a proper solution.

Hallo Barry,

sorry, das war doch kein Vorwurf, sondern nur die Aufzählung der Schritte bis zum Ergebnis.
Alles Gute

desculpe, isso não foi uma censura, apenas uma lista dos passos que levam ao resultado.
Tudo de bom

sorry, that wasn't a reproach, just a list of the steps leading to the result.
All the best
