Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks
I am also a Whole-Album listener. My requirement is slightly different to yours, but my work flow may give you some ideas.
I want to play whole albums. I want an active playlist which gives me a list of albums, which meet my selection criteria ... so that I could:
- browse this limited list of albums .... I limit each album having just a single track in the playlist, so that the music client will show the album cover art for recognition ... but any album limited to just appearing in the playlist just once, for ease of scroll browsing
- select an album from the list
- then queue it for playing
This requires two things:
- #1. a music player client whose playlist browser allows you click on a track in the playlist, and navigate to the album (for queuing) ... this rules out MediaMonkey Android if you are playing from a UPnP source, but the android Bubble UPnP app does have this feature ... MMA does also, if you are just playing from a local source
- #2. a playlist generator which can output just one track per album ... MM could this if your criteria included something like track#=1 ... a bit of a kludge, because an album may not have a track number 1 .... I have a free MM add-on which does it better, amongst other things, like generate MM play stats at the whole album level (for play selection criteria) ... PM me if you are interested
