Show individual Songs/Albums Counts on Music Summary Pages

[user24 313]

Hi, Presently all the main music Menu Tabs (apart from Suggestions) show a useful Items Count to the LHS of the Play button (1888 Items example shown below):

To find the individual counts for the Songs/Albums of a specific Album Artist/Artist/Composer currently takes a couple more ‘clicks’ to get to the relevant page(s). This is quite ok for looking up something specific on a few occasions, but not as nice for continuous top-level browsing through a music library category.

If the Songs/Albums item counts were added as options to the “Show Fields” edit settings, for Album Artists/Artists/Composers, then this would show the info nicely for anyone wanting to view it more readily. (I would use an Albums Count as a permanently selected option, but others may like to see the Songs Count?) Anyone not wanting this info displayed below the images would not select the respective option(s), similarly to the current setup.

Here is an example showing the Album Artist Title and Albums Count on the main Album Artist summary page:

Adding these options would be a great improvement, giving more useful functionality with music viewing. Thanks for considering.

HI, yes it makes sense. Thanks.

Hi again, something else I just thought of...

If Songs Count and Albums Count were optional viewable Fields, then they would make worthwhile Sort By selections, as well.

I likely wouldn’t use these as standard Sort By views, but there are numerous times when I have quickly wanted to see (e.g.) an Album Artist list arranged by Albums Count, or a Composer list arranged by Songs Count. (Example image below.)

Presently, the only Sort By choices for Album Artists/Artists/Composers are Date Added, Random and Title. Having these two additional selections would be very helpful.

(Sorry for not including this as part of the original feature request.)
