Lets get a Media View that works like an Album View
I hate iTunes, but i think that the concept of dividing your music by album is extremely useful. I would really like to see the creation of this option in song bird -

Is anyone looking into an updated version of Album List add-on mentioned in above post? This is what I would say is now my top request for songbird.

I really like browsing my library using album artwork but I really don't like cloverflow because it's puts way too much focus on fancy 3d effects which take away its usefulness. Something like Winamp's album art view would be really nice for me. I don't even really want to see the list of songs underneath the covers, just make them appear/pop up when an album is selected.

Inappropriate?I definitely want this, too! It would be sooo great! I would code it myself, but it exceeds my abilities, i think...
Please tell us, if someone is already working on something like that.
-
Inappropriate?There used to be an album artwork column in the library but I gather this was removed for search optimisation reasons. It's not exactly what you want but it was pretty good and is due to re-appear at some stage as far as I know.
The layout you suggest would be a good addition though :)
I’m starting with the man in the mirror

Inappropriate?i suggested the same idea in the survey this morning!
there is the same viex in WMP and it's very pleasant to use
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Really cool. Straightforward to implement too. I'll show to Daniel, who runs Songbird product management, *but* it'd be all the better if a Songbird add-on hacker picked it up.

This would be really useful! Could you sort / search by other fields in this view? -

Inappropriate?Hi,
The grouping is a very good idea. I would like to see it implemented similar to Amarok 2 playlist. See this demo.
It should replace the current "Now playing" addon, as I already suggested in other topic. -
I am working on it already, I have made some good improvements already and it is close to being released :).
Here is a taste: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steven_b... -
Oh wow, you're quite fast ;).
Yeah, it looks really good. Will there also be a option to show the covers like the way in the screen on the first post?
Greets -
Ah yes that is the AlbumList extension, that is coming along as well but I don't have a screen shot yet. Will post soon. :) -
Cool, thank you. So I'm looking forward to it ;-). -
Stevo, I love ZREO too! I can't believe you listen to it. I thought the chances of running into another Zelda nerd anywhere would be extremely low. -
Inappropriate?The extension is good, but still isn't exactly what the originally posted screenshot looks like, which is what I and many other people are after
-
I am working hard on the Album List extension which when I am done will look very much like the screenshot, however I also work on Songbird so I have limited time to work on extensions. -
Fair enough, I can't wait to see it when it's finished and ready for 1.0. Will the final product include the filter pane, or be like list view but grouped into albums?
My absolute ideal would be to have just a single vertical filter pane on the left-hand side, showing a list of artists, combined with album list view. -
Inappropriate?Awesome! I'm really glad to read this thread. The Album List view was one of my favorite features of iTunes. Can't wait for it to come to Songbird 1.0.
I’m very happy!
-
Inappropriate?1. I love your music (merriweather post pavillion! 1/09)
2. I agree with this so much, I find I don't use the grid feature in itunes or WMP at all because it takes so long to load, but I do like the on the side with gap between album feature.
I’m waiting
-
Inappropriate?I'm more interested in Albums than tracks & I use this view in MediaMonkey all the time. It would certainly make Songbird more attractive for me.

I was wondering if that meant that no one on the team was working on an official version of an album art media view. Didn't Stevo say he was working on incorporating some album art features into the official player? I know people consider a feature like this to be in addon territory, but since we pick physical albums out by their artwork and not out of a list, it can just make the filter view in Songbird feel pretty bare and list like. -
i like them covers tooo.
but it is about the music........... -
Inappropriate?Well done to the guys who adopted add-ons from stevo :) How's it all going?
I’m pleased that people are so much cleverer than me!
-
Inappropriate?I just thought I would update people who might be interested in album art media views and haven't seen some recent releases.
Moshy released an updated version of Album List a while ago, and it is really starting to perform very well. It pretty much looks exactly like the media view in the screenshot of the first post of this topic, and you can get it here: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/...
Another very exciting media view was released today by JohnM called Grid View. It groups albums into stacks by artist, and you can get it here: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/...
