Is it possible to put more than one album inside a folder that shows up as one icon/album on the home screen and when you click on it then displays all the albums inside, I'm trying to put my now that's what I call music to display as one selection on the home screen and when you press it opens up and shows 1 to 117 albums inside, is there any way, I've tried everything, and no matter what I do I get all 117 albums show on the home screen instead of my wanted in a root folder, is it even possible, is there an admin or a group member that knows

I doubt this is possible, I can't think of a way that is not over complicated for users.

Try this. It may achieve the effect your looking for. Options/View Settings/General......select Group Artists instead of Legacy.

UPDATEChange ALL Now albums tag " ALBUM ARTIST" to whatever name you want to see eg "Now That's What I Call Music" Then, Options/View Settings/General - Album and Artist Views - Change Legacy to Group Artists. All the Now albums will now be under 1 "Icon"

I would GUESS you put your own picture in the root of the first album (remove the original picture)
Name it Folder.jpg
(I'm not sure how Touchjams sorts sub folders/ Albums, just see what Icon is displayed and change the picture in that folder.)
Then make sure you settings match these.
This should make the folder.jpg the multi album folder icon, You should still have your individual tracks own album art displayed (if you have embedded alum art). Obviously the first alums art will show your icon, not the proper album art, but the tracks should be correct.

Firstly thankyou for your time and valuable help, I had tried almost everything, I totally understand your information and I will try it out, removing all other art in the albums and just putting the required icon picture in the first album in the list, I understand what you are saying, all my mp3 albums are embedded with picture art in the mp3 with mp3-tag

I'm not sure you understood what tonyeen was telling you. If you remove all your art from all albums you are going to have a mess of things.

You are not reading my suggestion correctly. I understand 100% what you are trying to do. To add a photo to your post, don't use the QUICK REPLY field, use the REPLY button, top right of the Reply field.

"(I'm not sure how Touchjams sorts sub folders/ Albums, just see what Icon is displayed and change the picture in that folder.)" I have done that and yes when I find out what folder is being used to display its icon I can change that and yes it does display in the home screen as what I want, but that album which you have used has the wrong art then, so my thoughts are deeper into finding out how it selected what folder to display the icon from, I totally understood what your answer was, and yes it works but if I knew how to adjust the script or setting in the hotkey editor, I could make a dummy album and put my art in that and ask the program to use it to display its art cover, so maybe my remedy is to know how to adjust manually what folder in my albums it's looking at, I'm not so good with explaining myself, sorry about that, and thankyou for your time, I did understand what you were suggesting, I'm sorry guys for the newbie questions, this software is absolutely amazing with all the user adjustment you have, much better than what I had before

There is no script or setting in the hotkey editor, that will do anything to do what you want to do. Touchjams displays what it reads from it's database.

OK, it appears that TouchJams uses the latest Year in the tag info as to which album is displayed when you use the "Group Artists" instead of "Legacy". To achieve what you want I had to create another "Now" folder, (Now That's What I Call Music - Cover Photo) creating a custom .jpg image for inside the folder. However, you must have an .mp3 in this folder in order for TouchJams to see and display it. This .mp3 of your choosing must be tagged with a year greater than any years used by your Now Albums. I used 2050. You must also change the .mp3 Album name to match with Mp3tag.
I know this creates a kinda useless folder with a useless .mp3 but it will achieve the result you are looking for. That's the best I could do.
Take care and good luck.
And, yes.....TouchJams is AWESOME!!

Thankyou very much what you suggested worked a treat, that's the main reason I came over to touchjams from home jukebox, which had served my needs for a long time, touchjams support from everyone and it's adjustability is absolutely out of this world, respect to you for your reply and understanding of what I was trying to achieve, once again touchjams has amazed me. Thankyou.
