In Reply to: RE: iTunes album view posted by Old Listener on July 19, 2017 at 09:14:35
. . . but somewhat disorganized with the redundant repetitions of album covers showing. I have almost the exact same number of album titles as you do for your album "values" (approximately 2300), and I've put a considerable amount of time into getting my meta information into a form which is useful for me in an album view. In contrast to your experience, I don't find scrolling through the album covers to be time consuming or awkward at all. In fact, I like the experience, because it will sometimes help me recall certain albums I'd had on the back burner for too long. ;-)
Different strokes for different folks.

Note that this is only one of a number of views that I can create and access. This one is "Albums Classical MCH" and displayed in order of acquisition. There are other views listed on the left. Note also that one can scale the size of the cover art to suit and on-the-fly.(Yes, I saw the John Hammond album which doesn't belong. I just fixed the classical flag.)

. . . since I can't add multi-channel albums to iTunes. However, with 2-channel, I can also have the albums appear in various views too.
I actually tried the trial version of JRiver Media Center years ago, but it exploded into a detonation of white noise between tracks one time - which sent my wife and my cat scurrying from the house. My wife said she even got heart palpitations from this incident! So, given that little disturbance (!), I went with Audirvana (which has its own database you can use as well as its "iTunes Compatibility Mode"), and, later, with HQ Player, which doesn't seem to have database capabilities at all. Sometimes, I'll play with the Audirvana database (you can switch back and forth between this database and the iTunes database), but I get a lot redundant entries (kind of like what Old Listener showed with his JRiver album view), and it would require more work than I want to put in in order to whip it into shape! (And besides, as we discussed on another thread, Audirvana doesn't work with the ASIO driver - at least not yet.)
Here are a couple of other iTunes views:

Another Artist View (just for comparison to my last post):
"I actually tried the trial version of JRiver Media Center years ago, but it exploded into a detonation of white noise between tracks one time - which sent my wife and my cat scurrying from the house."
I gotta say that I've never experienced that from JRiver and I have been using it for years on PC and Mac. Occasionally when using an incorrect or defective driver, I have experienced low level white noise but that just told me to get the fix.
Here's another useful view.
. . . and I don't think they quite had all the kinks worked out. I'm sure it would be fine today.
I use Audirvana.
