Display information in album view and now playing

Feature Request
1
  1. In Album view (Album, group by ALBUMARTIST tag)
    Current display scheme is:
    ALBUNAME
    DATE - ARTIST (if ARTIST tag exist if not displays ALBUMARTIST)

Request is to display:
ALBUMNAME
DATE - ALBUMARTIST (If ALBUMARTIST does not exist then ARTIST)

  1. In a particular album
    For each track no need to display album again before info from ARTIST tag. Also the album year can be moved along with the Artist name in Album header instead of repeating in every track.

Today the display is like below:
Header

Album Name
Artist
Duration / Album count

Track Title 1
Album Name - - Year
Disc# - Track#

Track Title 2
Album Name - - Year
Disc# - Track #

Proposed layout is:
Album Name
Artist / / (LABEL)
Duration / Album count

Track Title 1

Disc#/Track #

Track Title 2

Disc#/Track#

3, In Now playing window

Current info

Disc # /Track Feature Request
Album Title - Artist - Date
Track Title

Request is to have the below info

Disc # / Track # Track Title
Album Title
Album Artist
Artist
Date

It will be really appreciated if this change can be done so that using this app will become much more enjoyable.

Thanks, will add to the to-do list.

There are some issues though: some albums have tracks by different artists and/or dates, or have multiple album-artist tags. Also it can become too dense to display a lot of information in a limited space, so I’ll need to experiment with edge cases and consider some tradeoffs.
