I have some questions / (optional) feature suggestions for Plex’s “Group albums by type” feature.

In Plex web/desktop: Why are non studio albums, listed with “artist name / album title” instead of “album title / album year”? Makes no sense to list the artist on every single/ep/compilation etc when I’m on the artists page. It’s correctly done in Plexamp.

Plex web/desktop: When there are many Singles/EPs there are left/right arrows to scroll through them. That’s really annoying when artists have many Singles/EPs and you look for something specific. Would really prefer them to be listed like the studio albums. No issue in Plexamp.

Plexamp and Plex web/desktop: Last but not least, I would prefer to split Singles and EPs. They are different categories on musicbrainz… I would even prefer it if the EPs were combined with the studio albums instead of the singles.

100% agree with this. Kind of personally irrelevant since I don’t buy singles anyway, but I’ve never thought of singles and EPs as similar types of ‘albums’. For me, EPs are just albums with fewer tracks than is typical for a full album by that artist.
