iTunes, Rhythmbox, Quodlibet, Navidrome and the iPod are all good at organising albums. But for singles, I find it pretty tedious. They add a lot of clutter to the album art view with entries that only have one song attached to them. They also clutter the artist browser with entries with just one song attached.
At the moment I use music managers like those mentioned above for albums, but for singles I just have them all in one folder on my desktop that I drag into a simple music player (reAmp, a classic Winamp clone). I find it works well for easy listening. As a result, my music manager is clutter free with albums I can choose when I want to just “press play”. But I don’t have access when I’m away from my computer.
Has anyone else struggled with this?
Put them in a folder under the artist called Singles, and then I select a picture related to the artist(s) that I like the most to be the album cover. Then Symphony groups them for me. Though they have no track numbers.
That sounds interesting. Does it hide the artists from the artist list?
No it puts them in an album named Singles under each respective artist.
