There was a thread on this earlier. I believe it will only update the database if the audio file has a newer timestamp.
Someone posted a nifty little plugin that lets a user modify the NameSort fields within the Contributors table. Works very well, and is exactly the type of thing you're talking about. The data that you put there remains there until you run a new library scan, afterwhich you just run the plugin to repopulate the NameSort strings from an outside database (text file). -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
