Hi all, new user of PiMusicBox here. Just trying to find a suitable player for my home system. It must be able to read my local FLAC collection which it can, connect to my spotify premium account which it can, and do internet radio which it can… Win.

However, how can I get it to sort my local library via Album Artist rather than the Artist tag? Albums are all over the place.

If you browse through the Web interface, isn’t there an Album Artist category? If not, I think I know the fix for that.

Or are you using another method to browse?

Late response I know, but is there a fix for this?

Any help?

Album artist sorting is a must to be honest.
