Option to use tag for Album title in Grid View

Postby subatomic09 » Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:34 am

I'm so happy with Subsonic, but it would be great if the Album title in Grid view used the tag instead of the folder name. Like a lot of people, I put the year in front of the album title in my folders, so my albums end up displaying the year twice in Subsonic, like this:

Can the option be added to use the tag for Album title?

Thanks!

Another reason to implement this feature is for album titles with punctuation, especially ? and : that you can't use in Windows folder names.

I know I could do it that way, but that's a massive change to how I organize my music collection, which is to sort albums chronologically. Abbey Road belongs at the end, not the beginning. :) Plus, that wouldn't fix the punctuation issue.

Considering Subsonic is already pulling the year tag, I can't see why not do the same thing for the album title.

Not really. Just a simple feature request.
