Toxikator:
I don't know if this can be done... but if it can't, I'd like to declare my request for it.

Is there a way to configure the tagnavi file to eliminate the "untagged" option for certain categories?

Example:

I click on Artist
-- Album 1
-- Album 2
--
---- Song 1
---- Song 2

I would like to reduce this to just

Artist
-- Album 1
-- Album 2
-- Song 1
-- Song 2.

Clicking onto albums makes perfect sense, as it means the albums playback correctly. But for unsorted songs, it seems like an unnecessary step, especially for artists whom I own no albums from, only the one or two unsorted mp3s.

Toxikator:
bump  ;D

Taking this at face value, if you mean get rid of any < untagged > entries, then tag your files properly :P

However, your explanation of the problems leads me to believe you mean something else. Unfortunately, I don't understand your description.

Please describe exactly what steps you take, what the result is and how you would like that result to be different...

Not possible. You can't have albums (or any other tags) on the same level as Songs.

As for requesting it - can you tell me why you would want it? It is not reducing the number of button presses if you have a minimum of two albums.

Toxikator:
The idea is to save button presses and to make things more logical.

The idea behind eliminating 'untagged' entries is to stop an unnecessary organizational step.

It makes sense, for example, to organize by album if you have whole albums on your rockbox (and indeed I do). so I might click "Meshuggah">"Nothing">"01. Stengah".

But it DOESN'T make sense when the tracks aren't organized by album.

Why go, for example, "Static X">"untagged">"Dirthouse", when the ONLY Static-X song I have is Dirthouse? It'd be easier to just go "Static-X">"Dirthouse".

You can DO this in file view mode, which is why I was asking. My Linkin Park folder used to look like

Linkin Park
- Hybrid Theory
--- (tracks in order)
- Meteora
--- (tracks in order)
- Qwerty (Live)

Now it goes

-Hybrid Theory
--- (tracks in order)
- Meteora
--- (tracks in order)
- untagged
--- Qwerty (Live)

Seems like an unnecessary level to me.

However I don't want to use the file tree view because it's not as accurate (character restrictions and all that)
