Support adding albums

[ejpcmac]

With the current master, it does not seems to be able to add/play an album directly. My current process is:

1. Search
2. Select a song from the album and isolate the album
3. Select all the songs by hitting V, then G
4. Press enter.

It is a little cumbersome to do this.

Looking through the issues, I’ve found one mentioning the add-album command, but it seems it is not available in the current Go rewrite. Is this expected? Do you have a plan to add this feature?

If you don’t have time, which can be the case, I may try to look at this on some week-end in the months to come. It would be a good opportunity to use Go for me. I can’t predict when though.

By the way, thanks for pms, it is good to have a great vi-like client for MPD :)

Hi @ejpcmac,

I understand this is cumbersome. There is a plan to add the feature but unfortunately PMS is hibernating at the moment. I want to be able to integrate with Spotify because I do not use MPD at the moment, and Mopidy doesn't look promising in terms of functionality.

Anyway, feel free to implement this. There is some similar functionality for figuring out groups of songs (e.g., albums) when you want to move the cursor. Maybe some of it can be utilized.

Good luck and thanks for your support :)

Hi @ambientsound,

No problem, every little project has the right to hibernate :) Speaking about services, I would like to integrate Qobuz too at some point. I’ve requested an app key to start hacking and see what I can do with it. Having both on-disk and streamed music at the same entry point is always good.
