How to...with covers and sorting - bvb09 - 25-09-2014 05:31
Hello Minim-friends,
being too old for learning so much about the deepness of a program I would like to ask the experts who can easily help:
I already installed Minim on my NAS (Synology DS214) and MinimWatch on my laptop. I want to hear my music with my NaimStreamer.
So let's go with my wishes:
first I want to choose a genre.
when chosen, I want to see all the covers of this genre BUT sorted in order of albumartist (and where no albumartist is filled in - then artist).
would be very kind and I hope not so difficult to explain.
Thx
Marcus

If you are using n-Stream as the control point, I don't think it will be possible to have custom sorting. This is because n-Stream ignores the sort order sent by the server and imposes its own alphabetical sort order.

Thx Simon,
the support of Naim says it is the sorting of the server, the client (new naim-app or n-stream 4.0) just takes this sorting - true or not?

I'm pleased to hear that Naim has fixed this problem in n-Stream 4.0. You can sort a list of albums by Artist (or AlbumArtist if present) by adding the setting Album.sortTags={Artist, Album} to the tagOptions property.
