What the user enters in any track title will always be honoured when it is displayed, which is different to the previously broken artist and genre name issues where similarly named items were considered the same, so the users tag content was not honoured. Each song scanned is always a different record in the music library; the scanner never aggregates song titles, so there would be less of an issue making them case sensitive or insensitive. >maybe you misunderstood me or maybe i wrote poorly, but of course the >diacritics fix was intentional. what was NOT intentional, but was a >result of it, from my reading of the various bug reports/forum threads >and my experimentation with the "fixed" version, was the side effects >of the diacritics fix. > My understanding was that case sensitivity WAS intentional. >> Fixed bug 10324, don't merge artists or genres unless they have the >> exact same name >they included respecting case, and respecting spaces. when i pointed >this out, andy said it was FUD, not true. turned out it was true.

Okay, I wasn't sure about the leading/trailing spaces being intentional or not, and I'm not particularly bothered either way on that one, although in my mind it should still obey whatever the user has put in the tags. I can think of cases where there may actually be leading spaces in TITLE tags, eg. to indent tracks into a structure: 1. The Narrow Way 2. Middle Section 3. End Sequence It can be argued that displaying a track list for an album, the leading spaces should be honoured - i.e. the user may have intentionally entered them for this reason, or some other reason. iTunes doesn't trim spaces from tags that it reads. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
