NitroNine 20 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I don't know if I may be the only one, but I never care about the songs list appearing on top when going into an artist. It would be great if there was a away to either remove the songs section, or change the order so albums can be on the top? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägs 72 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 +1; I'm more interested in seeing albums first, too. In fact, it'd be great if songs / appears on would be a separate link (for the sake of loading time). I don't want to remove it altogether, as it is useful for seeing what songs they have on compilations, but that—to me, at least—is secondary to albums. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37242 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 HI ,yes this idea has come up before and is possible for future updates. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user24 123 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 @NitroNine@Jägs Yes, you are not the only ones. I would also prefer Songs to be below Albums. I suspect that many Emby music fans would have large ALBUM focussed libraries rather than large SONG focussed libraries. For me the songs/albums order is the main aspect that I don't like on the Album Artist pages. Everything else is very good overall. (Possibly people that stream a lot of their music from online services, e.g. Spotify, Tidal, etc. would prefer songs first???) There is at least one way to set up Emby to show only Albums, but it would take a lot of work and you also lose much of the other good info. Essentially you could make the main Collection folder a defacto Album Artist Collection folder by assigning music Albums into individual Artist Collections. I was experimenting with this over Christmas and posted a suggestion here: Even though this is possible to set up, I still personally prefer the current Album Artist pages with all of the fields (Songs, Albums, Tags, Appears On, etc.) Maybe one day in the future we (or Emby) will be able to change the order to suit Album oriented libraries?!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user24 123 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 @NitroNine@Jägs I've been researching and experimenting with this a bit more (on and off) over the last couple months. If you are using the web app you can use custom CSS to likely achieve a Music view that suits your needs.. It is possible to hide any sections that you don't want to see and also swap the order of those that you do want to see. Check out this thread for hiding Sections (thanks to @beckfield ) Check out this thread for changing the order of Sections: The various bits of CSS code should work for the latest stable Emby Version 4.8.1.0. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user24 123 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (FWIW) Some more thoughts... There is a “3 dot” settings tab on RHS of the secondary menu of the top-level Album Artist/Artist/Composer pages that allows for changing the view settings of the current top-level page: This edit area could potentially also be a place to make global changes to the view of the underlying individual pages in a similar way. A new “Show Sections” option could work similarly to the “Show Fields” option that exists now: Having this "Show Sections" editing available individually for the respective Album Artist/Artist/Composer categories would give great flexibility by allowing three custom user-defined page views for the three categories. Combining the above show/hide options with the new drag and drop reordering in Emby 4.8.6.0 would be brilliant! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby will need a preference and policy editor soon to set defaults for settings or enforce settings from the SERVER side for users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby's soon-to-be-announced secret new AI entity (codename: DR NUKEABLE) will handle it easily - think about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
