Why not fallback to artist? I mostly only have Album Artist set if Artist is not the same across the album. Not deliberately, just what I noticed when I flipped this on.

You'll need to rename folders to what makes sense. If u have 10 album from the same artist with the artist name in front, all you're gonna see is 10 lines of the artist nsme, not knowing which album is which. Or u can just browse base on artist name or album name.. browsing by folder name will...

I have an album of .dsf files that just show as "Artist: Unknown Artist" "Album: Unknown Album" no matter how I tried changing the metadata tags on the pc. Anyone with this issue on their M0?

Amazingly, if you scroll to the top of the page, enter 'album-artist' into the search box, check 'Search this thread only' and the click the search button, this happens: https://www.head-fi.org/search/8330288/?q=album-artist&t=post&o=relevance&c[thread]=874859

Thank you for the information. In folder browsing, if I have a folder for an Artist, and then each album is in a subfolder below the Artist folder, is it possible to shuffle play all songs in the album folders (so that I can shuffle play all songs from that artist)?

MediaMonkey is one example of an app to easily and automatically fix this.

Hi, I was wondering if the M0 will have album-artist sorting in addition to just artist sorting? Thanks! :)

I noticed that the Music browser does not use the Album Artist tag, but the Track artist. I think it's pretty unusual. This is problematic for compilation albums because the tracks will be spread across the different performing artists, instead of the album being found under 'Various Artists'...

@Shanling Is it possible to add the option to organise music by 'Album Artist'? These days, there's a lot of collaboration between music performers, and the way some tags are populated, managing by 'Artist' results in songs from the same album appearing under different artist names. Also helps...

Thank you for this tip! I did it the opposite way to you though. Rather than mess up my 'Artist' tags, I put the album artist in the 'Composer' tag. Now I can browse by album artist except M0 calls it 'Composer'. Brilliant! I found a way to automate the conversion using Media Monkey (such a...

Yeah, it's weird. I have rarely seen players that offer an album artist list (Foobar2K mobile app does, and I love the layout), so I have resorted to changing the tags so that the artist tag is actually album artist, and then I can put the song artists in a different tag location (edited into...

Oh also @Shanling, is there a way on the m0 to jump to the album and/or artist for the currently playing track? If I had to guess, you'd tap the artist or album name in the track info screen? Could someone who owns an m0 try perhaps? Thanks

Hurrah! Thank you Shanling. That's an important step forward. Now just Genre-->Album Artist-->Albums-->Tracks to do. Genre-->Tracks is no use to anyone.

I've got used to being able to browse to the album or artist of the current playing track through one operation such as long pressing the song title, and selecting the song I want without affecting the play mode. ie shuffle all to shuffle album. Basically the ability to browse current...

Not possible on M0.

Sorry, I meant a search by the "album artist" tag which is used for albums and compilations (artist names in artist tag, and "vvaa" or similar on album artist tag) . Right now if I have an album of multiple artists, I will have all of them scattered in different places. If a use album view I...

Would also be a great time to anounce a proper genre sort. You know: genre > album artist > album > songs rather than the completely useless genre > songs.

I see it has USB C. Will it allow charging the M0 while it is playing out to a USB DAC (with a suitable adaptor of course)? This would make a very neat desktop solution if it can charge and play (USB out) at the same time. Also, does the library function have sort by "Album Artist"? I notice...

Thank you so much for yet another quick reaction. I had missed the fact that it can be toggled from the playback menu. And after uploading FW 3.1 it is set by default to AlbumArtist. I am completely reassured! In fact, working like this it is a great improvement. Keep up the good work...

Using it solely as a transport for the Mojo, does anyone know if there's a "Play All" function? That's is, with the folder structure being; ARTIST > ALBUM > TRACK Can I chose to play all tracks from the outermost Artist folder?

MediaMonkey has a feature 'Auto-Organise Files...' Just select your whole music collection, select this feature, enter the folder and filename structure you want based on your tags and then leave it to get on with it. I use 'C:\Users\technobear\Music\<Genre>\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track#>...

Hello, i'm waiting for my m0.. i come from a bad experience with fiio m3k not playing gapless so i hope this function will be as smooth as it is on foobar or poweramp... anyway, i have another question: is it possible to organize the music library by album artist? with compilations or featuring...

thanks! didn't expect an update so soon. album artist is a very welcome feauture. now waiting for more important stuff ;)

@Shanling would it be possible to have the alphabet scrolling list with the folder browser? I'm using this now rather than artist browse. at least until the odd track swap issue is resolved and an "artist album" option in My Music is available.

Unfortunately no change on not ideal gapless on mp3 files. I put album artist on list of features to add months ago, unfortunately so far with no results.
