Feature request: Don't show album title when there is none in the meta data
Answered
I own a NAD M33. I have my FLAC-files stored on a USB-stick. None of the songs has an album title in the meta data, this field simply is left empty. My NAD M33 shows "Unknown" on its display when playing a song without an album title.
My request is to simply not show the album title line when this field is empty.
Regards,
Han.

Hi Han
The other option is to correct your metadata on your file; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360042352294-What-is-Metadata
The vast majority of music has metadata added when you digitise it. All streaming service and authorised download sites include prepackaged metadata.

Tony,
This question certainly is not answered! I know what metadata is. Why do you assume that my metadata is not correct? The Album field simply isn't there/empty. Why does BluOS show unknown?

Hi Han
If the album title is empty, then it is Unknown. Software cannot tell whether or not you intentionally left it blank. Consider putting two spaces in the album title so as a null like content is there for the software to recognise.

Hello Tony,
Thank you for engaging with me in this conversation! Why not make the software a bit more intelligent?
If the "Album" field is populated then show it. If not don't show that line. Can't be that hard to code.
Since my collection consists of separate songs not belonging to an album, I don't populate the "Album" field.As you might know one can connect the NAD M33 with HDMI to a TV/monitor. If one looks at the picture the M33 is sending to the TV/monitor it shows exactly what I would like: "Artist" and "Title" and no "Album". So it can be done...
Regards,
