What's wrong is that the queries being used to list the library are badly broken. That's why the counts are off. That's why artists are missing, and why compilations often aren't displayed in their proper place. I also think there's a lot of confusion about how the compilation options should affect the listing of albums and artists. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28229 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
