Artist/Album pages - About section - Hide headers

Feature description:

Posted on behalf of @Zyntaxyz

Additional option to hide the headers in the “About” section of the Artist and Album pages. (Referring to e.g. “Genre” header text while still displaying the content)

Problem solved:

Headers can take up a lot of space and may break up the look of the desired layout.

Depending on the category, header may not provide useful info (e.g. if the data is “United States” the user can probably guess the category is “Countries” )

Brought benefits:

Allows space saving if headers are not needed/desired

Allows closer grouping of data, since there would be less separation between fields.
For example, could have “Record Label” header showing, followed by the fields: “label, country, language” inside a single visual group.

Other application solutions:

 

 

Additional description and context:

 
Pic 1: screenshot of current Album page. Headers are shown, taking up space and breaking up the fields
Pic 2: Mockup with all Headers removed. Vertical space needed is reduced.

Selectively leaving only some headers in Pic 2 would allow multiple fields to fill one “visual group”

Hey, what chain do you use to show that Audio Quality information on “CD”?

What part do you mean? I see no audio quality info in any of these pictures.

I have set “CD :optical_disk:” for CD Media Type not audio quality, “Lossless” badge is the popular choice for 16/44 quality. You can use a simple format.samplerate && format.bitdepth syntax to show “CD” or “CD Quality” as Qobuz does if you want

This is my Media Type syntax:

{CD :optical_disk: %|mediatype==“CD”%}{Digital ᯤ %|mediatype==“Digital”%}{Vinyl :dvd: %|mediatype==“Vinyl”%}

Not sure where to ask but here: How do you actually get this line with “Compilation | 2008 | …” on the Album page? I’m not seeing any options to display anything else but the About section. The line even utilizes custom strings? I know that in another feature request, you suggested custom string lines for the album page, but they’re not yet accepted nor implemented.

Well, we requested extra strings.

V14 will actually give you one slot to replace the current Subtitle. So you can’t do this yourself right now but the official version should be out very soon.
