The Grid (by album) mode is currently designed primarily for Albums (MM doesn't currently have a grid mode that's specifically for individual tracks). A possible partial solution within the curren Grid (by Album) view would be to display Artist when Album Artist isn't available. BUT, I don't think that this really makes sense since it would give users the impression that the Album Artist field has been entered even when it isn't. A more realistic solution would be to add a Grid (by Track) view that allows users to display tracks with a range of metadata in a grid instead of a list, without grouping them. In such a view: - Album Art field must be force-enabled - All other fields would be configurable (in the same manner as they are in the list view). The only difference is that metadata would be displayed below the Artwork image. - Artwork would probably have to be larger in such a view so that there's enough space for the metadata |

I don't why you are bringing Grid (by Album) again when I didn't mentioned it, just as you had it in another related issue. Also, I don't know why you say that MM doesn't currently have a grid mode that is for individual tracks and why are you suggesting adding a new Grid (by Track) view. As far as I know, Grid (by Track) already exists. It is called just Grid and I am talking about that view all the time. What is the current Grid view if not for individual tracks?

I'm actually not seeing a 'Grid' view in most track-oriented views. Regardless, my point is that the desired functionality can be achieved by: - only displaying columns (for sorting) for fields that have metadata displayed - allowing for this to be configured via the column configuration (similarly to how this is implemented for Grid (video) |

Track-oriented views with the Grid view: - Entire Library|Music|Video|... / Location - Folders I don't know what you mean by "the column configuration" and "fields that have metadata displayed". If you mean about Column filter, the columns that are displayed in it are not the same as the fields displayed below the artwork in the grid of Grid (video). The field displayed in my Grid (video) is Filename.extension, and I have by default Genre, Artist and Album columns in Column filter. Actually, I think it would be much better if you have displayed Filename in all track-oriented views instead of just Title. However, if by "the column configuration" you mean about Column settings that you have in the context menu of the grid header, the problem is that you don't have displayed the grid header in the Grid view, unlike the mentioned Grid (video). Which I have mentioned in the 0020440 issue. And, such solution wouldn't be good anyway because it cannot allow sorting on the fields that are not displayed below the artwork in the grid. |
