Display Albums as [Album Name] [Artist]
Under the [n] albums, how does one display the album name followed by the album artist?

Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question!

Many thanks.

Please post an example of exactly how you want this to look (including any punctuation), and I'll post the format string that you need to use.

Sure, how about ALBUM - ALBUMARTIST

Many thanks

You can do this by adding

Code:
Album.displayFormat={$album^^ - ^$albumartist}

to the tagFormat property. Please note that for this to work, you must have 'AlbumArtist' either in indexTags or in itemTags.

A slightly better option would be:

Album.displayFormat={$album^$albumartist^ - }

This uses the string ' - ' as a prefix for $albumartist instead of as a suffix for $album. This means that any albums that don't have an AlbumArtist tag will be displayed without appending a ' - ' string.

Excellent, many thanks again for your help.
