Selecting a set of tracks

Upplay seems do this because the '>> Complete Album' is present at the next level down, so it gets included. I get the selected 'work', plus the complete album.

foobar2000 suffers from several niggles (not playing containers, restorting etc), so I've given up on it. In some situations it also plays more than I want, but I've not attempted to show this in examples to you because of the other shortcomings. upplay is my last hope.

Quote:I understand. It seems surprising that most control points don't allow this.

A 'play all', or 'n items' at every level (regardless of how many unique value tags there are) would fix it for all CPs, would it not? It would also avoid the CP duplication problem for those CPs that don't do duplication detection as you have proposed. If optional, you could could keep yours how you want, minus the clutter you are averse to, and others with lesser CPs would still be able to do what they want without rules they don't quite understand the reason for, like me. I guess I like consistency and get puzzled when what seem to me to be arbitrary rules impose a change in presentation and structure.

I admit to being biased. LMS provides a visible and selectable 'play all' at all levels in all my menus there, and I use it a lot because it is so useful. However, LMS menus are not nearly as flexible as yours, and the dedicated hardware will fail one day. Further, using UPnP would be more direct, server to player, which seems to me to be a more elegant solution, since I don't need multi-room synchronisation.
