It is possible to change the Album sorting in Muisc Jukebox by altering the Album name field in the Tagscanner script. The default script is linked to the HTML guide:-

http://www.mede8er.com/mede8er_music_jukebox_user_guide.html


This is the relevent line in the script:-

<album>%album% - %albumartist%</album>

We don't advise changing other lines..but we can't stop people experimenting.

Those who wish to share their script are asked to do the following:-

1) Post a reply to this thread, with the script attached.

2) Describe what the script does relative to the default script. Include images (phone?) of the "before  / after" effects, if possible.

3) Clearly indicate the attached script is  modifed by changing this script line:-

<generator>%_version% Mede8er X2 Firmware 2.0.4, V 1.0.2 20Feb2012</generator>

to something like:-

<generator>%_version% Mede8er X2 Firmware 2.0.4,  20Feb2012, Modifier "name"  V XXXX</generator>

The firmware should be the one it was tested with, and the date, the date it was posted.  From time to time the offical database code may change..and the official script updated. Users must be able to see that user scripts where made for an earlier firmware than the official script.

4) If you post a script..please help those who have issues if they try it.

5) Those using a modifed script may be asked to revert to the default script if they report an issue considered related to the script.


Can those wanting to comment on a script please post in the comments thread.

A basic reversed script is attached.

I also have my albums sorted based on the artist and not based on the album name.

But the problem I have shows up when I select an genre.
With the genre "disco" some albums show up, and also "Various Artists -"
This is a group of tracks which are not on any album (albumartist = Various Artists just as adviced in the manual)

The problem is that some tracks in this group are of the genre "Disco", but now all tracks are shown also those of a different genre.

Is it possible that when choosing a genre just a list of tracks appears which are of the chosen genre?
Does anyone know how to change the script to solve this?

Thanks,
Cinderella

I would suggest creating a playlist if you want to show only TRACKS for a particular genre.  It is pretty easy to do.  I use MP3Tag (but you can use TagScanner or whatever program you prefer) to create playlists and just add the whole music directory to MP3Tag, sort by Genre, then remove the genres I do not want from the list, then save the m3u list to the same directory where the Music.db file is located.  Now when you enter the music jukebox, press the Menu button, go to the bottom (shortcut by pressing up once to wraparound to bottom), and select Playlist, then the playlist that you want.  You will now be looking at a list of TRACKS for only the genre(s) you selected.

How can i change the script so that the Artist search is changed from "Artist" into "Albumartist"?

Thnx.
