I think the key phrase there is "ignore when sorting". The two strings for the artist names differ, so SlimServer calls them different artists. If you look at the track table in the database that SlimServer keeps you'll see a separate column used only for sorting purposes - with all punctuation removed (why?) and in all caps. I've been pretty careful tagging files (as you're pretty much forced to, given the unforgiving nature of SlimServer's cataloging), so I was unaware of the case sensitivity issue. I find it hard to believe that it was implemented like this on purpose. I can understand that if the underlying dbms is case sensitive then it can require some additional work to see these as the same artist. This should be done, though. -- JJZolx _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
