Plexamp feature request: shortcut links in album view to genres and record label

Hi!

When using the Plex web app interface to browse music collection, some “tags” are clickable in album view (and some also in artist view). For example the record label is clickable to bring you to a filtered list of all albums from that record label. I would very much like to have the same browsing capability in Plexamp.

Cheers!

You actually have that already… however it’s limited to clicking on the artist (jumping to the artist page).

So your request is in the first place to even display e.g. genre or record label details on the album pages?

Hi @tom80H, and thank you for your response! :slight_smile:

Yes, I have found the “Go to Artist” shortcut by pressing the three vertical dots. When I write “clickable links”, they don’t necessarily need to be clickable on the album page, it is perfectly fine to go via the three vertical dots submenu (ala “Go to Record Label”). Changes the topic name to “shortcuts” instead :slight_smile:

Let me illustrate some variations in the different apps; 1: Plexamp mobile app (iPhone) 2: Plex mobile app (iPhone) and 3: Plex web.

1: Record Label is visible in the bottom, below the song list. Genre(s) is not visible. From what I have found it is not possible from this view for me to continue browsing all records for the particular record label directly from here?

2: Record Label (albeit titled “Studio”) and Genre(s) are visible between album cover and song lists. From what I have found it is not possible from this view for me to continue browsing all records for the particular record label or genre directly from here?

3: Record Label and Genre(s) are visible to the right of the album cover, and in this case are clickable so it is possible to get to all albums for that particular record label or genre very easily.

So your request is in the first place to even display e.g. genre or record label details on the album pages?

Well, Record Label is already visible, so that is no problem. Genres are however not, and would of course be very good if it would be visible.

out of curiosity, do you have any special settings for genre in the library? we show styles and moods at the bottom of album pages (styles are like genre’s more detailed cousins):

We have added a link from the album year to a nice grid of albums released in that year for the next release.

Thank you for response!

Maybe this is where all my hours of tagging my music doesn’t pay off :joy:. I force Plex to use embedded tags only. And I only have genres in my music. No styles.
