Title: playing singles
Post by: its-smee on February 22, 2009, 03:49:01 PM
Hi
   freebox is finally coming together and working well.  I know Freebox is mainly album based, But ??
  I have a large number of singles by various artists, each with its own CD cover. would it be possible either in present release or future upgrades to include an "artist" cover pic on main selection screen as is now, with further sub menu showing the Single CD cover then the contents of each single when selected.  This would save having 40-50 pics of each single on main selection screen and saves having to scroll past them.    e.g. I have 70 madonna singles and at the moment Freebox shows 70 cover pics on main selection screen, but it would be better to hide the singles selection behind one cover screen of madonna thereby stop the boredom setting in as you scroll down.   :beer

You could put them all in one folder called maddona singles and that would sort of get you where you need to be. When you say singles, are these proper singles with the B sides or just single tracks? If they are single tracks you are better off tagging them as greatest hits and putting them in one folder. If they are proper singles with B sides, i tage the name with the prefix "Single:" so they are all grouped together.

Hi
they are singles with "A" and "B" sides, and up to 4 or 5 songs per single. each single has its own CD cover and it is this i would like to preserve. putting them in one album is fine but would just show a list of songs with a common cover. As each single has a  unique cover maybe for a future development have a sub-folder from one main folder. that way all the cover art can be under one album cover on main screen and look a lot better.
