So I just found this app, super dope, but after some fidgeting I still can’t properly organize different media types. I want to be able to have albums, singles, EPs, etc in the artist page. I just can’t hack it, yall!
First picture is how it looks, second is how I want it to look roughly. I just want to know if it’s even possible. Thanks in advance!

Hello! To achieve this, you need to add the RELEASETYPE metadata to your music files. You can easily do this with Kid3 (https://kid3.kde.org/), a free tag editor available on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.
Follow these steps in Kid3:
RELEASETYPE.AlbumSingleEPMixtapeCompilationOnce your files have this metadata, Symfonium will group them separately on the artist page, as shown in your second screenshot.
If there are any misspelled English words, please excuse me, it is not my native language.
Also, make sure the “Group albums by type” setting is enabled for the Artist page!
Settings > Interface > Artist page
Done that, does nothing, I’ve literally tried everything, nothing works. Is this kind of setup even possible?
Doesn’t work, I’ve tried release type, album type, media type, so many things and nothing works. I’m using Mp3Tag.
Thanks anyways
Yes, I have mine set up exactly as you want yours. I use *.opus files tagged in Mp3tag
What file type are you testing?
If you can, I’d love a screenshot of your file in Mp3tag. Please select ONE file in Mp3tag, then press “Alt+T” to open the extended tag panel, and look for your Release Type tag in there. Send me a screenshot of that so I can see where the tag is ending up.
That’s perfectly fine. And it’s tagged in the correct field. (Officially it should be lower-case single but it should still show regardless.)
I’ve got no clue, at this point. From what I can see, it should work fine. As a last resort, you could clear your tag cache and then rescan?
Screenshot of mine, so you can see how it should look:
Yea that’s wild I don’t know what else to do, and yea your setup is exactly how I want it.
Can you tell me how to clear tags and rescan?
Settings > Manage Media providers > (tap your provider) > Clear tag cache > Update (at the bottom)
Then Settings > Sync Manager > Sync
So I did what you said, I even redownloaded and retagged a new file of the same song and it still doesn’t work lol
Thanks anyways man you’re a g!
Hey so I’m a goober, the reason “singles” weren’t organizing is because it was only one song.
Thank you anyways (again) I feel like I wasted yall time lol
I have my doubts, because I definitely have Album Artists with a single track:
But hey, I’m glad to hear you got it working!
Word then idk what it could be
You have any new ideas? I’ve tried messing with it more and I still can’t hack it.
Nope. If the tags are set in RELEASETYPE for FLAC’s (like you did in your picture) and the “Group albums by type” is enabled in the Artist page, it should just work.
Other formats like *.mp3 may use a different tag field, Mp3tag should set those correctly but I can’t say.
Beyond that, there’s nothing more I can say.
Gotcha, thanks brodie!
