Hi Germinal
You did some custom work on Music collection for me, Im having an issue with the album view.
In pic 1 this is the new design work you did for me, I had to create a new album for that genre of music because keep adding songs to the same album was drastically slow in the joomla backend, I added a 2nd album to the genre but the view is not very good for my customers and over complicates things.
I want the additional albums with songs to look like the main view you did the custom work for me. As far as my customer base is concerned they think the genre is not being updated on a daily basis as its very confusing to click on individually albums.

Pics provided
Main pic - This is the layout in which you did for me and how it should look.
Album 2 - The view i get when selecting album 2 which is not what I need as it overcomplicates thing, It does not show the bpm field or download.

Regards
Joe

    you're showing two different views to me. the first one is the SONGS view (on the artist profile), the second one is the album view. it's not the same thing!

    Is there a way I can change the settings so all my albums look like the SONGS view instead of being Album view? When creating a new Album it goes to this view by default and I have searched everywhere to try and configure this?

    What can I do to keep the current view that I have paid for? I can't keep adding songs to the same folder as it slows down and the album view is default as you say and no way of bypassing this?
    The problem I have I want to keep adding songs to one genre on my site, not when music collection slows down I then have to add another separate genre to accommodate the songs Im adding, Its frustrating for my users and also myself as current songs are no longer viewing at the top of the page and seems what Ive paid is limited in terms of use.

    what you're describing is a "search results" view, you want to show a list of songs which can grow, and with pagination. that's the search view, not the album view!

    I think you are confused somehow. in your first post you show me yourself the layout you want. that is the SONG LIST layout, not the album view!
    the view you want, you already have it. it's just that you're looking to the album page which is not the one you should be looking at.

    The SONG LIST layout I already have showing on the live website (See Pic 1)

    the problem I'm trying to describe is that after adding so many songs to one folder in the album manager (See Pic 2) Music Collection slows down drastically which is forcing me to create an album to go with that genre, I just want to simply add songs to one folder and not have it slow down or create addition menu items on the live site as it will be to much overload in my drop down menu for users and be very confusing.

    but in the frontend you are not using the album view anyway, are you? I mean, if you just use the song list view in the frontend, it won't slow down...

    since you're not activelty using albums, you can just create more than 1 album...
    In music collection, songs are always "inside" albums.
