Quote:If I'm reading between the lines correctly here, does this mean you can navigate by artist, then by that artist's albums, then add all tracks from an album? And you can also navigate through albums by all artists? That would be great.
Yeah!
It's actually a bit more flexible than that on the database end; when we ingest tracks into our database, we pull out a bunch of each track's tags (title, artist, album, whatever). We then have a bunch of 'indexes' that are defined by an ordered list of different tags. Here: https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang...ex.cpp#L31 (in theory these should be user-configurable, but atm they're hard-coded)
We then have a fairly generic 'index browser' UI that lets you view the top-level records associated with an index, and then for any given record, drill down recursively to browse the deeper level of the index.
...I hope that makes sense. It's a bit complicated, but it's quite a flexible and fast approach.
