The discography shows you all main albums from that person you have access to (from your own library or streaming services). You can play such a track offered or explore more about that person with sections of `Overview’, `Discography’ and `Compositions’, for example. You now get a circular photo (or their initials) of each musician (under Performs) or composer (under Composers) with their name, what role they played and/or what tracks they played on. When you play an album, under tracks there is a section `More from…’ offering other albums by the same artist or musical ensemble, following are other sections containing `Recommended albums for you’, and `Similar albums’.Ģ.
