Title: Play All
Post by: LxC on August 26, 2009, 10:23:08 PM
I know this can already be done through the the Files menu but not through the Database menu.  When selecting an artist, there is no way to play all the albums in order.  Going to All Tracks is alphabetical, inserting the entire artist as a new playlist is also alphabetical.  Just a simple "Play All" in an artist's subfolder would be awesome.

Or maybe there is an option and I'm missing it?

That does work but to keep the tracks in their normal album order, you have to add each album to the playlist individually.  It gets to be a bit tedious when you're adding a large amount of albums from a single artist.

It almost certainly is - yet another reason for people to have helped us out when I requested for people to comment on what they thought of the current default tagnavi file we ship. Shame we got bugger all response eh ?
