Albums by Year for One Artist

[Ralf11]

I want to start playing with the earlies album I have that Miles released, then the next, etc. etc. until I get to his latest release.  These are all in my Music Library (ripped from CDs).

 

What is the best way to do this?

 

Column browser is song oriented, and Albums, Miles in search field, Sort by year brings up The Who and lots of other people (I guess everybody who covered a tune by him).

 

Ideas?

Here's how I do it.

Column browser--Artist column--Miles Davis

Song listings--"Album" sub-column then click up/down arrow by album and select "Album by Artist/Year"

Done.

Another option is to select Miles Davis in Artists. In the View menu, choose Sort By > Year. Naturally, each album has to have the year tag set, otherwise some will be out of order. 

 

Or, select all the albums, add them to a new playlist, choose View > As Songs, click the Album header until it displays Album by Artist/Year.

Thanks guys !

some albums will have the "re-re-re-release date". You might want to create a playlist.

Or just change the date.

yup - I change the date (when I catch it) and add the 'new' date as a note

If it's any help, or of any interest, it's possible to do this sort of thing in fb2k:
