If you set the Album Artist in your tag to the string 'Various Artists' And you set an Artist tag in your library to the string 'Various Artists' for their album titled 'Solo Album'.... How will SBS know that the first is a compilation and the second is the name of a band? It seems to me that an actual compilation would NOT be by the string 'Various Artists', but would rather be a virtual ID that happens to be displayed as Various Artists. If you had the cited album in your library, how would it sort? (Hint: it would sort with every other album you tagged with the same artist name... ie, it would be tossed in with every compilation, even though it is NOT a compilation.) 'Soundtrack' is not an artist name either: it's perhaps a genre or classifaction.. but it's not an artist name and should not be tossed into a field for artist names... -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83232 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
