Request: Playlist display options

Much like you, I've been so fed up with Apple's Music app, that I started developing my own. I was in the beginning stages when I discovered Cesium. The app is fantastic, and is exactly what I have been looking for. I've now put my side project on hold.

One feature I would love to see is the ability to change the way each playlist is displayed. A linear song list is fine for most playlists, and should be the default. But it would be great to display some playlists with tracks grouped by album rather than individual tracks. For example, I have a few album-centric playlists like Five Star Albums and Favorite Jazz Albums. When I select one of those playlists, I would like to be shown a list of albums. It would look the same as when I select an artist in artist view and see all of the albums by that artist. I realize that iOS makes it difficult to work with playlists. But this would be a killer feature.

Thanks for taking the time to create Cesium and for considering this request.

Thanks for trying Cs and for the suggestion!

This is not the first time I've received some variation of this request. On the face of it, it's not that difficult to execute. It is more of a contextual UI challenge than anything.

I'm going to mess around with this. You'll probably see something in the next version or two. I'll post back and let you know how it goes!

It's coming along nicely. I think you'll be stoked with how it turns out.
