genre in library view

[Jose Quesada]

Hi,
Congrats on cmus, my new favorite player.
Is it possible to show genre in library view, instead of artist?

Thanks

Take a look at man cmus and look for format_playlist option. This can be
used to make the library look any way you want. This option can be
changed by pressing 7 (settings view) in cmus.

Sorry, I explained it wrong.
I'm using titleformat already to display genre in playlist.
What I mean is the leftmost list that has artists, then nested album.
I wonder if I could have say genre > artist > album.

Thanks

No, you can't. Basically, because this is heavily hard-coded into cmus :-(

Yes, it would mean a lot of work to make that happen. I have thought of
a long term goal though: make tree.c a datastructure (i.e. all tree
functions take a "struct tree" pointer, like editable). If such a change
is made, it is a good idea to make the colums configurable. But I have
no real plans to do that in near future.
