Plexamp - Show all albums for an artist, not just the first 20

[michael1885]

I’ve just joined Plex and have been adding my music library to it piece by piece. It’s possible I’m missing a setting to adjust this issue, but I don’t think so.

I have all my compilation albums (so far - lots more to go though) under an artist called Various Artists - however when I open Various Artists, it only shows the first 20 albums I have there. If I want to see the rest, I have to click the arrow at top right:

I then see this, basically the same screen but with all of the albums.

Is there (or can there be) a way to just have the initial screen show all of them? This seems like a pointless extra step to force users to take.

This would also apply to a very prolific artist like Bob Dylan, so it’s not just about my way of doing compilations.

Thanks for any advice!

Why are all your multi-disc albums split into separate albums - is this intentional?

Hi - very sorry, missed this completely. So, a year late… yes, it’s intentional (I know it’s unusual).

It’s primarily because I wanted to be able to play just one mix of a 3 cd dance music collection without the others playing after the first was finished (or with the 3rd one playing after the 2nd had finished, or whatever). I also wanted to be able to have different artwork for each CD (it’s the purple, yellow and green discs on the 2nd row).

I know - it’s weird! But it works for me

Fair enough - you can easily play individual discs in plexamp as each disc has its own play button next to the disc number…

Obviously this wouldn’t help with different disc artwork though
