Did you activate the "Show year" option in the Collection Browser? I assume you verified that all the tracks have the year tag set. > Did you activate the "Show year" option in the Collection > Browser? Yes, I did. Years can be seen in the snapshots. > I assume you verified that all the tracks have the year tag set. Correct. In the meantime, I did some more digging, and bumped into this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216759 I believe it refers to the same feature - sorry, I didn't see it before. If you too believe so, you can mark my wish as a duplicate. Cheers! Indeed, this is a duplicate, thanks for spotting :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 216759 *** |
Created attachment 50052 [details] 2 snapshots Version: 2.3.1 (using KDE 4.5.0) OS: Linux When two albums share the same name but not the same year - like it's the case for reissues of remastered works, for example, or entirely new albums that only share the title but not the tracks - they are shown in Local Collection as a single album with tracks merged (see Snapshot1). Yet, one would expect them to be shown separately, but Amarok doesn't seem to discriminate between years. The only way to achieve this, currently, is to rename albums, as shown in Snapshot2. This is not a major issue, of course, just a matter of seconds. However, in bigger collections of over 30,000 items it may become time consuming, also considering that "Automatically retrieve cover art" won't work with what it considers it to be a wrong title, or simply one it cannot find, thus forcing users to manually set it. It would be nice if this feature be implemented, sooner or later. Many thanks! Reproducible: Always OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-24-generic Compiler: cc
