Sonic Adventure: please add the ability to find tracks by ARTIST or ALBUM name

Simple request:

When creating a Sonic Adventure, please give the ability for the search to find tracks by ARTIST or ALBUM in addition to Track Name. Sometimes I want to add a song, but I don’t know the name of the song… I only know the artist, or maybe the album. Right now there’s no way to add a track unless I know enough of the track name that it appears in the search results.

For example, I want to add the song “Computer Blue” by Prince to a Sonic Adventure, but I can’t remember the name of the song, and I can’t just search “Prince” or “Purple Rain” to find it. Or maybe I remember the song has “Computer” in the name. But searching only “Computer” brings up 6 other songs in my library that aren’t a match (e.g. “Computer Camp Love” by Datarock). There need to be other ways to add a track to a Sonic Adventure other than knowing the exact song name.

Is this on Plex radar to fix? Or is there some mystery reason why I have to search an exact track name in order to add it to a Sonic Adventure?

This would be handy :ok_hand:

Hopefully this feature will be added.

I love Sonic Adventure. It’s one of my favourite features of Plexamp, but I do not half get frustrated by the inflexibility of the search

My biggest bug bear, if a track name is the same as the album, I cannot use it in the mix. *eg, I cannot add the track ‘Much Against Everyone’s Advice’ by Soulwax to a Sonic Adventure mix as it is from an album called ‘Much Against Everyone’s Advice’

Fixing this would be superb

Agreed! Initially, I mistook it for a bug. It would be fantastic if the search would match albums and artists.
