Hi
This is what I want to do:
Have a separate parent node called 'Classical' whose source is the separate share folder on my NAS which contains all of my classical music.
This parent node should then contain various nodes: 'composer' 'conductor' 'soloist'.
Clicking on 'composer' would then list all entries in the library from my classical music source by their composer tag.
Clicking on one of these composers, for example, [Verdi, Giuseppe] would display all 'albums' whose composer tag is [Verdi, Giuseppe].
Clicking on 'conductor' and 'soloist' would work in a similar way. All 'conductor' tags, all 'soloist' tags, from the classical music source would be listed. Click on a conductor or on a soloist and all the albums with that conductor tag or soloist tag would be listed.
This is what I have done:
Created a parent node whose path starts with [path to my classical source]
I created a new node in this parent node called 'composer'.
What do I do next? The only options in 'add content...' are 'Artists' 'Albums' or 'Songs'.
I'm using the Library Node Editor add-on. Does doing this require me to edit XML files directly?
I suppose I could compromise and forget about the 'conductor' and 'soloist' tags, make the content of the node 'artist' and then retag my music so that the Artist tag was the same as the composer tag. This works but means I can't access music via soloist or conductor.
If anyone has advice here I would appreciate it. Thanks.
