The data I'm talking about does show up on a web query on musicbrainz, and it also appears to come through the XML WebService API. On the web page for each artist, it will show up in normal font two lines below the big bold header of the normalized artist name. For instance:
Tom Waits -> Waits, Tom http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/35c9a4b0-d4dd-3e6f-87fd-2185519296e2.html The Who -> Who, The http://musicbrainz.org/artist/9fdaa16b-a6c4-4831-b87c-bc9ca8ce7eaa.html Ben Harper and Relentless7 -> Harper, Ben and Relentless7 http://musicbrainz.org/artist/91636f0e-163c-4b8c-a355-d5127998d51f.html Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas -> Fraser, Alasdair & Haas, Natalie http://musicbrainz.org/artist/37c81427-68cf-4b5e-b54a-aaf42749ac97.html So what I'm after would just be a matter of using the latter version of the name as the artist folder (to get a natural sort with `ls`), rather than the former (iTunes style). It's noted in the API documentation at: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XMLWebService#The_Artist_Class http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Artist_Sort_Name It does seems though that I may be the only person in the world interested in this, so I can certainly just install the software and patch it myself (at which time I'd be asking about the process for submitting a patch). -- eq72521 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eq72521's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1512 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75051 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
