How to work the tags/artists being shown

For some sort of reason all artists are now showing, also the ones with just one song on a compilation album. Further I need to drill down further to get to the Album to get the full album across in the 'playing field'. I wonder if it has to do with Leia or with Minimserver. Twonky looks different, so I think it is MS.
I predominantly listen to albums and have no need (at all) for playlists, so normally would go to folder view or artist view to select the band/artist I want to listen to. Once selecting the artist I would like to see all the albums, where I then would select the one I want to listen to. However in MS I select from the main tree 'Artist' where I then see ALL the artists available,selecting an artist gives me a tree again with albums, items, date, composer etc. Selecting the albums (I would have loved to see the albums here already at this point) I then can select the one I want to listen to, but at times then directly see all the songs instead of the album.
Guess I need to read up more on tagging.......

When you see a list of songs instead of an album, this probably means the album contains songs by different artists. If you've already selected artist A, and the album contains songs by artist B as well, you'll only see the artist A songs. From this list of artist A songs, you can select "Complete Album" to view the complete album.

Quote:Direct question; if I want to reduce the tags being shown, where do I adjust that (if I can)? And how do I select an order in that?
Thanks, Rene

Try setting the listViewAlbums property to a very large number such as 9999. This will greatly reduce the tags that are shown. I don't understand what you mean by selecting an order.
