Selected songs are not properly highlighted in playlist view

[nitinsooni]

Description

When select a song, show 'Select All' option in menu to select all songs. Obviously in songs, album, artist,... tabs, but inside playlists also.

There's no more room in the UI to add any kind of "select all" option unfortunately. However I do notice the highlight issue, so I'm converting this to a bug issue regarding that.

Yeah you are right about the limited room.

There are 2 options which do same kind of things - 'add to queue', 'play next'.

• add to queue, adds songs to queue in last position
• play next, adds songs to next in queue

You should use approach like spotify, only have add to queue option which add songs in next position

And i also have doubts on 'only selected songs shuffle' option, doubt much people use that.

I used to have Spotify's queue. However, more people expect Play Next/Add to queue over Spotify's weird transient queue. It's also significantly harder to implement internally. There are also a good amount of people that want to select a specific queue to play.

I'm also not talking about the menu UI. I'm talking about the album/artist/genre view, there is more or less no space to put anything like "select all" without making it cluttered.

Okay thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Btw, if you can clarify this because there is no discussion tab. I don't know if its a bug or my music tag have issue, but my app showing multiple albums for different artists.

I selected comma in multi value seperator and also my music's tag artists are seperated by commas.

Yeah, currently you need to have album artist tags @nitinsooni until I can do #750. Basically, it's easier technically to group by album and artist combination rather than just album, which leads to this splitting since the album's tracks will be grouped separately based on their artist combinations. If they have the same album artist tag, they will be correctly grouped.
