A feature I’ve always wished for with jukebox apps is what I’d call a “virtual album.” Its basically identical to a playlist, but would show up in an album listing instead of the playlist listing and some of the id3 info would be ignored.
For example, if I already own a bunch of the early CDs by The Eagles, I could put songs from each of those into a virtual album and create my own “Greatest Hits 1971-1975” album. To do that now, I’d have to either duplicate those files and edit the id3 tags, or make a playlist. But a playlist is segregated from the rest of the artists albums, and the original tag information will appear. A “virtual album” would ignore the track number and album name of the files being used in favor of the virtual album song order and name.
I kind of like that idea. I’m not sure what the best way to implement that would be though… I’d have to think on that.
