4.7b2 using ID3 tags - but how to disable this?

From the CHANGELOG:
> REST: Full support for accessing the media collection organized according to ID3 tags, rather than file structure.

Great! New functionality is progress! However, I quite like the file-navigation and it seems like it doesn't show files without ID3 tags.
I might be wrong, but nonetheless would like to disable this feature. Is there a way?

Same here bro! Basically I like the idea of organizing by id3tags but if subsonic does so it should can handle files without tags. Until now my server remains on 4.6 because when I tried 4.7beta2 almost all of my videofiles disappeared :-/

So please sindre : bring us back the filestruckture-view or update subsonic so it can really handle files without any tags.

I wonder... Am I / are we the only ones who found the ID3 view less than optimal for non ID3-based file respositories?

When I use Beta2 there are plenty of empty folders, in particular for all the folders where files does not have ID3 tags or equivalent.

This is exactly what I thought so far... As I said, id3-ordering is nice but when all files without id3-tags can't be recognized :-/

But I could swear sindre wrote that 4.2beta2 CAN handle tagless files ...

I made the update to beta 3...and I dont see any way to browse my collection using id3 tags. Is it me ?
I still have those horribly incorrect and incomplete search results based on folder names. What am I doing wrong ?
