Album/CD Titles

All my CD’s which have the same title ie. “Greatest Hits” are grouped under a single album title. Any work around short of re-naming all album titles ?

Unfortunately if you are using the Media Library, the filtering and sorting are pretty basic. If you only have one album by that artist you can change to the ARTIST view. I have added the artists name to the album titles that are common like Greatest Hits, Best of etc. for instance Greatest Hits (The Cars), so that they get sorted separately. I’d be interested if anybody else has a better way of doing this.

I have just posted a suggestion in the Live Hub Ideas forum which could solve this problem http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Ideas/Sort-by-more-than-one-criteria/idi-p/409214

Maybe WD will take an interest if enough people vote for this idea.

Agree with Badmem, you pretty much need to add all the info you want in the album name detail in each of your music files (I edit them into my FLAC). As I want my CDs from the same band to be in chronological order I add the release date in the name of the album such as “ACDC - 1980 - Back In Black”.

Not convenient but not so terrible, especialy if you do if from the onset.

good luck

thanks, I used your advice

If you haven’t already could you vote for my suggestion http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Ideas/Sort-by-more-than-one-criteria/idi-p/409214The more people that vote the more chance that WD might improve the sorting options.
