Was there not an issue a while back that if the first time the scanner encountered an artist it used that artistsort for all subsequesnt tags for that artist? So for example, I couldn't figure out why Fleetwood Mac were appearing under 'B' in my artists list. It turned out that I had a fleetwood mac track on some blues compilation that some bright spark had filled in an ARTISTSORT tag of 'Blues' on musicbrainz. Because I normally use easytag, which doesn't show artistsort, I didn't spot this. The upshot of all this is that the database scan forever associated ARTIST:Fleetwood Mac with ARTISTSORT:Blues, even though I have 7 FM albums with the correct artistsort tag. My memory is quite hazy on this, but I know that I sat down one night and went through every artist that was in the wrong place and reset all the artistsort tags and did a full 'wipe database and start again' scan and they were all ok after that. Where do U2 appear in your list as a matter of interest, and do you have them listed on any albums that are compilations etc? -- idowantapickle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ idowantapickle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55335 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
