Offer "Folders" view tab when "Include folders" option is used about auxio HOT 4 CLOSED

I think even a more dynamic folder view isn't ideal and is possibly worse due to its obsfucation. I think your fundamental problem (Clutter from compilations) can be solved by enabling Hide collaborators in Settings -> Content, care to try that out @lineinthesand?

You are right; regarding the compilations, that does make things a little bit better.

However, I suggested that enhancement because I also keep single tracks that I bought (where I don't like the whole album) in a separate folder, as well as music from sources other than my ripped CDs (e.g. whole albums that are only available in digital form). Also, the music in the SD card is different from the one on the internal storage (e.g. lossless and lossy formats, respectively).

As I mentioned, this additional root level should only be (optionally) accessible when you specify more than one "Include" folder. For that case, there could also be a meta folder "All music" in addition to the proposed individual folders.

So in essence, you would have a means to "filter" by individual "sub-libraries", or view all tracks combined from all folders.

This does not necessarily have to be accomplished by new root level folders in the views but could e.g. be selected by pulling down a kind of menu with these "library/folder selection options" when you are in the library view, which currently does not have a pull-down action (e.g. pulling down on the Auxio caption).

Sorry, wrong button

I think I get what you mean, but I don't currently see the appeal of this. It seems quite niche and confuse a lot of users who think there is a folder view but really isn't. I don't think I'm going to go forward with this right now, sorry.
