Muso has the ability to either suppress or display non-full albums from the main browser views. Non-full albums may be partial albums (which you may have some tracks from but not all), though Muso also sweeps up tracks for each artist which have no album set as "Non Album Tracks" pseudo-albums - these are also classified as non-full albums. If the album qualification is not reached, muso will also classify as a full album any where the number of tracks in the album matches the "Track Count" set in the track attributes (so 4-track EPs that run to under the specified number of minutes will be included if the tracks have the Track Count set to 4). | Muso has the ability to either suppress or display non-full albums from the main browser views.

Albums, once collated, are grouped by artist, composer etc by taking into account minor variations in artist name, eg. artist tags of Smiths, The Smiths, and The Smith's (while mostly incorrect) are all collected together in the same artist group (the most common variation), without re-tagging. | Albums, once collated, are grouped by artist, composer etc by taking into account minor variations in artist name, eg. artist tags of Smiths, The Smiths, and The Smith's (while mostly incorrect) are all collected together in the same artist group (the most common variation), without re-tagging. |
