I have just installed Minuim on my QNAP NAS to be used instead of Twonky with my Naim NDX streamer. (The reason I have moved from Twonky is because songs are displayed in alphabetical order in folder view).

The only view that I want to use is "Folder View" as this sorts the albums I want correctly as in my old CD rack

However, here are the problems I cannot resolve:

1) Folder View doesn't look like the other views such as Artist View in that the Artwork isn't displayed in the parent folder, it only displays on the actual albums and irritatingly on the actual songs themselves.

You can display artwork for a folder in folder view by adding a Folder.jpg file to the folder. if this isn't what you want, please provide more detail or post a screenshot.

If an album has artwork, it isn't possible to remove artwork from the songs in the album when using folder view.

Quote:2) In folder view I get an irritating option of "TAG view" in each artist's folder. Can I get rid of this somehow.

You can set the showExtras property to false.

Quote:3) I also get so many crashes now that Twonky didn't give me.

Can you provide any more information about these?
