More visible fields for standard searches #536

Open Fivda opened 2 years ago

Fivda commented 2 years ago

Standard searches could benefit from at least some important added fields that would be always visible: -Publish Format -Category (Game, Animation...) -Classification image

I don't see the point. The album titles are already colored according category/publish format and classification can most of the time be adequately worked out from the title.

For example NieR:Automata Original Soundtrack | Game | Soundtrack would be completely pointless because we can already tell it's a game from the color and that it's a soundtrack from the title.

but you can't tell if it's actually a soundtrack or an arrange album though. See https://vgmdb.net/album/798 for example, plenty of albums with "soundtrack" in the title are sometimes arranged. No way to see this in your search other than going on the individual album page.

Same thing for soundtracks that may contain more than just game focused stuff. Something could be an anime/drama/talk category, but so long as there's "game" in there, it'll default to the "game" category, which isn't always really explicit. Of course it's explicit most of the time, but there's an undeniably large amount of albums representing multiple mediums at the same time, hence why i think it's important
