Hi,
I want to use my Nokia N8 as a mobile music player. However, I have many songs by the same band, but from many different albums. In the current method of sorting by Band/Album combined, this results in an endless list. Can you please add sorting by Artist only? So that I can select an artist and my nokia will play all tracks by that artist?
Thanks

Your best bet at present would be to create a playist for each of your favourite artists. I hadden't noticed the lack of this feature as I had been so happy with the acknowledgement of Album Artist in the Album & Artist sort option. I had disliked the lack of sorting the artist view by album as I would want to play all tracks by an artist but in album order.

I passed this suggestion on to some colleagues. In the meanwhile, mbrett's suggestion of creating a playlist sounds good. TuneWiki is an alternative player with sort-by-artist you could try out as well.

I recently updated my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to an N8 and couldn't believe it wasn't possible to "play all music by Artist X" in the N8's music player: this was one of the features I used most often in my good old 5800 all the way from when I got it in 2008.
Creating playlists for every artist simply doesn't cut it, it's way too much work. Nokia should get the "sort/play by artist"-feature from the older Symbian version and fast! Can't be that difficult...
