Re: [Muine] [PATCH] incomplete albums

[Yo'av Moshe <bjesus gmail com>]

Yeah, it's doable, but why not sticking with the first solution - using tags?

Muine already requires the user to have a quite-well-organized
library. Why can't we ask for a 'total tracks' tag from our users?

Not all of my albums have this tag, but I sure be willing to add it if
it will let me add all of my songs that has no album into muine
without ruining my beautiful albums list.

Also, we can write a nice shell script that will tag all albums under
whatever folder the user wants with the right 'total tracks' tag (i.e.
'filltotaltracks ~/Music/Albums').

Yo'av.
