Hello and congrats on a well thought out extension.
I would strongly suggest to rethink your charts album strategy. The way you have it now is perfectly acceptable but it lacks so much that it becomes unusable after some time.
For example every time you need to show a compilation you need to add an album with an artist that either does not exist or is the company that makes the album for instance. The real artists that perform the songs that contains the album are not clickable and if you search for them by pressing on the A, B, C... buttons they have no songs of their own since all the songs that you just added to the compilation belong to the artist of the compilation album which is not the real artist...
I don't know if you understand the above example but some work is definitely needed on the compilation albums if you want them to display correct.
Again thx for a nice extension!
Kind regards

0Hello,
well, you are right. First if all, the songs should appear whn you see artist list. This is a known bug, that will be solved on next version. You cam actually fix it yourself, its very simple. Theres a thread on the forum explaining this. Let me find it for you (you can try to find it yourself, too!
)
besides of that, you're right about the artist o the song in the compilation album page: they are not clickable, and should be. This is of course not a bug, just a thing to improve
I'll add it to next version. In any case, if you want to know how to achieve this before next version is out, tell me. Its also a quite easy code hack
thanks for the thoughts
