Hi everybody

as you can see, this is my first post. Last weekend I played with the Foobar SDK. Now I'm wondering if there is an elegant way to query the album list.

My current solution is getting all song from the media library. Then I look through all the tags and put the song into their corresponding album. But I think my solution causes (in my eyes) some unnecessary computation effort! As the album list is already present within foobar, isn't there a way to get the list directly?

Thx 4 help wink.gif

The album list is not present in the program core, but a component based on the SDK, limited to its capabilities.

It does the same: get all Media Library items, and sort them into albums (or whatever view is selected).

The metadb does not store tracks grouped by album in any way.

Okay, thanks.

Then I will continue doing it this way.
