An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I like to make these ideas measurable (as to when they are completed). Can we settle on a number you'd like to see page by page? Or are you wanting infinite scrolling? http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2013/05/03/infinite-scrolling-get-bottom/
An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean "display more albums"?
It's not a solution but you can see more at once by using the zoom function in your browser...

An error occurred while saving the comment I think this would fit well for defining a separate library for which different rulesets can be applied http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/5490000-individual-rulesets-for-different-locations- .
If you imagine a library is more than just a folder, rather it can be a subset of a folder (e.g. all compilations in a folder) and different rulesets applied to just that. For this idea, we could have all MP3s in a certain folder, with specific rules applied to them.

An error occurred while saving the comment Merged in "select artist from alphabetical drop--down list" with comment "extremely inconvenient to page through 600 artists, a selection option would be great, just like for albums" - figured this meant it was the same as the album starts with filter.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for this. There must be some sort of modification going on... can you see it in the Activity page?

An error occurred while saving the comment The difficult bit with this is: how do we know when the year is different denoting different releases, or the year has just been incorrectly tagged? Heuristics I can think of:
- Check online to see if there are known distinct releases
- See if there's an overlap with track numbers... one album should be a subset of another
- See if the files are in separate folders. But this should only work with other clues because we want to support files that are spread around a root folder. -

An error occurred while saving the comment We already have the genre consolidation rule -> http://www.blisshq.com/tour/genre-consolidation.html also see capitalisation rules -> http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/2345195-standardize-capitalization-of-tags-album-title-. What's the next thing that needs doing?

An error occurred while saving the comment We could do something about this, currently the behaviour is set up in lowest-common-denominator style. All file/folder naming rules for all platforms are obeyed at once. In this case, Windows does not like *s in file or folder names ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx ) .
We could also provide a way to control how the *s get changed, I suppose.

An error occurred while saving the comment It should've shown up automatically, however there is a 3-minute-ish delay to avoid bliss performing work when a CD is still being ripped. How long did you give it? Maybe some sort of "there are new files pending" alert should appear.

An error occurred while saving the comment bliss always scans as soon as you choose a new music library or change your settings.
To change one artwork there are a few ways...
1) On the album grid screen, click the pencil icon
2) On an album detail page, click the "change art" link
3) Change the album grid screen to the cover art alternatives page - see http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2012/01/24/new-release-20120119-cover-art-alternatives/We always offer refunds to people that haven't got value from bliss, so for this please get in touch so we can sort this out (best to email support@blisshq.com).

An error occurred while saving the comment @Bruno this idea would cover "if no discnumber" (just have it as an else clause) but you should start a new idea for equality matching if statements, e.g. "if DISCNUMBER=1"...
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep. Not sure whether the ? could just consume the following two groups:
<discnumber>?|Disc <discnumber>|No discnumber|
Means if there's a discnumber, use "Disc 1" or whatever, otherwise use "No discnumber".
My concern is this is ambiguous as to whether the group is part of the conditional or not (groups are generic and can be used anywhere in a file org pattern), but it essentially works this way already for the 'true' part of the statement.

An error occurred while saving the comment Do they all disappear? I think the reason this happens is that compliance changes after the cover art is changed, and so the next/previous albums change.

An error occurred while saving the comment With regards my last comment, I wrote this up: http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2013/07/30/more-uses-conditional-file-org/index.html
An error occurred while saving the comment I thought of another way around this. You can use a conditional file organisation pattern. For instance, if your pattern is:
<album_artist>/<album_name>/<tracknumber>-<track_name>
You could change this to:
<album_artist>/<album_name>/<tracknumber>?|<tracknumber>-|<track_name>
So the track number is skipped if it is not present.
An error occurred while saving the comment Another idea on this is that it should hook into the auto tagging feature to look up/suggest the track number for you. Might save a few seconds...
An error occurred while saving the comment This actually went through two early versions of functionality.
Originally, the track number simply wasn't included in the path, so you'd get files like "-Track1.mp3". Depending on the token after the tracknumber, this could sometimes result in invalid filenames.
Next, a common string like "no-track-number" was added. But I think I just found this ugly. Furthermore, in some cases people have a filename that is descriptive without tags, and this would destroy their organisation totally.
So I just settled for alerting to the problem. I think I would prefer a solution where the tracks could be numbered (in this idea, manually). I think I shall need to start listing the tracks for each album, soon, anyway, so that should offer a UI to achieve this.

An error occurred while saving the comment Good suggestion. In general, the UI should be more "responsive", that is, the UI should size to fit the device. See also http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/4191079-full-screen-waterfall-layout-use-the-entire-brows which is kind of the same thing but the other way, for larger screens.

An error occurred while saving the comment I would be interested in implementing such functionality so long as the benefits can be rolled back into the generally-available product.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, there's specific code in there at the moment to not move child folders for albums. This is there to stop occasions where you have child folders with music files in them. An example might be if you have an artist/ folder with some odd tracks by the artist and then child folders of albums.
What I could do is change that so if the folder is only one deep *and* there are no music files within, still perform the move.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, that's right, this idea would be quite powerful I think.
An error occurred while saving the comment For completeness' sake, I should add that another way of fixing where prefix paths are a problem would be to implement the multiple libraries feature: http://bliss.uservoice.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/788647-the-ability-to-monitor-more-than-one-location-on-a
That said, this may have other ramifications. E.g. if we have a duplicate music finder down the line. So this suggests both features would be useful.

An error occurred while saving the comment Where would the playlist be located? Also see http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1952369-dynamic-playlists which would allow your example (playlist of all artist's albums by year) to be continually re-generated.

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting, I think I can see what is happening. If you have the filter set for "non compliant" and you change the art, the album may become "compliant". If there are no other compliant albums, you'll not have a next album to click through to...
Could this be what is happening?

An error occurred while saving the comment Hmmm... do you mean the pencil icon?
Is the cover art rule enabled?
Can you create me a debug archive? "Help" then "Download debug archive" and send to support@blisshq.com ?
@Robbert I think the why? link and the tiling in general has got a bit messier since the fluid UI update. I'll try to look into it some more. In the meantime I'd like to know more about your workflow, perhaps by email for now before we decide on action. Does the inbox help at all?
