Genre filtering in music player
asked 2014-01-20 20:14:49 +0200
Please add an option to select a specific genre in the music player.
Interaction from Jolla to community?, practically non-existent as the community does not pay the bills. Don't expect any changes to the fabric of mediaplayer. As suggested above, use a third party app for now, but don't wait on Jolla. There is no consolidated bug list that I know of, they are scattered all around this forum, diluted and buried in some cases. Perhaps someone else has a more positive spin, but I've been here for 5 years and for me, it all feels a little stale and lacking.

On the other hand, the response you get depends a lot on the application/component your input is about. Some Jolla employees spend time taking input from TJC and help debugging the apps thjey work on together with the community. Others don't seem to bother. As for the media player an the underlying framework, there are bug reports since 2014 that have never been looked at or commented upon. Whoever is responsible for that doesn't take input.

This is really needed!! Currently, I am scrolling myself to death to find the right artist (here at least a search function would simplify). But a genre view would be best ... First genre, then listing the artists, then albums etc. This way you can search music more following the mood instead of mechanically thinking of an artist.

sgleo87 ( 2014-06-08 10:55:31 +0200 )editI too think this is really needed - I have a mix of music, podcasts and audiobooks, and finding the item I want to listen to is harder than needed. Genre filtering would be quite useful.
Additonally, it should be possible to refine the search from a top category using another category i.e. Show me the genres, then under "Rock" let me chose "Album", Author" or "all titles" again.
