I (sorta) like this idea. But it would require me to use mp3tag to batch create Album Artist tag fields for all my compilations. Without rehashing the 1000s!! of posts on the issue of compilations and AlbumArtist, it would take some adjustment on my side. I'm one of the folks that leaves Album Artist empty for compilations (but does set the compilation tag to a value of 1). This way I don't see any "various artists" listing in my artist listing. I use settings to tell it to group my compilations together and label it "Compilations". This category shows up at the top of my artist listing and contains all my compilations. The only time I use Album Artist for a compilation is if I want it to show up under a specific artist (i.e., I put AA=Bob Dylan on a Bob Dylan tribute album even though Bob Dylan is not on that album...i just want it to show up under Bob Dylan in ARTIST. But again, I like the idea of browsing either A or AA and I could adjust tags accordingly. *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S & iPad2 (iPeng7 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Streaming - Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101248 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
