all the tracks from the album are not grouped.

Comment 4 Mark Kretschmann 2008-11-23 14:24:38 UTC

Confirming based on Mikko's comments.

SVN commit 900391 by nhnielsen:

Make the grouping in the playlist depend on album pointers instead of relying on artist and album names. This should fix issues with various artist albums nto being properly grouped. Because of the new private meta registry, the scripted servies are also ok with 
this way of grouping now. Unfortunately, this gloriously breaks grouping of albums loaded with Meta::File or Meta::stream classes (even if loaded from a playlist and having correct album information) as the implementation of these classes does not lend itself 
to using the registry. Most notable is storing a playlit with a librivox book (which is loaded from the playlist again as a series of Meta::Streams). These will no longer get grouped, even though they all have the same album names.

Thanks for the fix.

If I understood your explanation, then the fact of music added to the playlist not being grouped and not showing track numbers a consequence of this fix. Am I right about it?

Comment 7 Nikolaj Hald Nielsen 2008-12-23 08:37:36 UTC

The fix only (potentially) adversely affects tracks loaded from the file browser and streams that are not loaded from a service (such as from a stored playlist)

Doesn't same problem exists in collection tab. I have an album with various artists. I have arranged by collection as Genre/Album. Attached the screenshot for same.
