Albums Options
Mode
MAFA has two modes of identifying albums:
-
Albums by title
Best if all albums have unique titles.
Albums with identical titles will appear as one album and might get the wrong album cover art. -
Albums by album artist
Best if all albums have unique album artist.
OK if album artist is missing but there is a unique artist.
Album that is missing album artist but has multiple artists will appear as multiple albums each with a unique artist as its album artist.

Group by
Albums can be grouped by date, genre, artist and other tags.
Groups can be collapsed or expanded
Groups initially collapsed
When selecting group-by tag the groups will all be collapsed initially
Show group indicator
When a group header is scrolled out of view, an indicator with the group name will appear floating at the top of the list.
Tapping the indicator will scroll to the group header.
