let me start by saying a couple things:

1. i LOVE this program

2. i have no idea what i'm doing... LOL

that said i really like the **html\_dano\_albumlist\_js\_ex** export config template but didn't have much use for the individual song info. my primary interest is in tracking my artist/album collection.

that said i made a couple of tweak to dano's. i probably didn't do it right at all... but it seems to be working well. the only difference really is that i changed the colors and made it so that you only get the artist and albums (and not the songs). the songs are still parsed (i think) because i wasn't sure how to remove this without jacking the template. all i did was remove the link to expand the album.

i hope this was okay for me to do and share!

thanks!

i forgot to ask/mention -

if someone can help me out with the removal of the song info altogether, i'm guessing it would result in a much smaller html file. that would be nice and would be something i'd be interested in.

I can do it, it's not such a big work, but I think that you must ask dano for this.

sorry for the delay... i finally got around to testing this out.

it didn't work. it did exactly what it was doing for me when i first tried editing this... which is the following:

when you click on an artist name (who say, has 4 albums), the expanded artist shows an album for each song for that artist. so lets say there's an albums titled "CD1" "CD2" "CD3" and "CD4", each with 3 songs each, the display looks like this:

> [@](#):
>
> Artist Name  
> CD1  
> CD1  
> CD1  
> CD2  
> CD2  
> CD2  
> CD2  
> CD3  
> CD3  
> CD3  
> CD4  
> CD4  
> CD4

when what i'm trying to get is

> [@](#):
>
> Artist Name  
> CD1  
> CD2  
> CD3  
> CD4

it would seem that removing the parsing of the individuals files messes something up with the album parsing.

can anyone help?

thanks!

Did you tried [milkaArtist\_Album01\_html\_artist\_list.zip](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2422/5)?  
Can you post screenshot of Mp3tag so that I can see paths and working directory of your files.  
Than i can help you.

I'm at school right now so cannot say for sure, but you should use something like $loop(%field% **,1** ). I think that should do the trick.

It's not just one loop...

JKeats, check out your ID3 tag's, you must have same album name in all tracks for each directory!
