MA2: Choose to play complete folder when browsing a folder structure (ie NAS) #1256

Based on discussions on GitHub I think this is unlikely to get up. MA is not designed to play music from a folder. If you want that there is probably other simpler solutions. If you only want to use MA then your options are to either (a) add these individual tracks to a playlist or (b) tag them with a made up album name and then you can select the album to play. To quote Marcel "Music Assistant is not about playing FILES but indexing and playing artists, albums and tracks." |

Fair enough, with this in mind my suggestion would be: When browsing a folder, it would make sense that the link to the Album (derived from the Metadata) can be a big bigger so that it is easier ti navigate to the Album. |

I would absolutely love to have this feature. My music is sorted chronologically by folder name, eg: 2024.04.05 Only God Was Above Us It's still tagged normally, but would be great to have the option to just play a folder. Looking for album art in that folder would be amazing (folder.jpg) :-) |

As a User i wish to start playing all items in a folder
So that i can browse my music library, i can play all items with on click only.
In MA it is possible, but in the way i do it, it requires many clicks:
When the album (tags) is different from the content of the folder, this does not work properly.
Below is a screen shot from MPD player, an app in the Apple and Android playstores. Playing a folder is done via the tree points on the right of the folder. That is very intuitive.
