Right, there are good ways to abuse that for fun and profit (see below), but I believe that sort of general "undefined behavior" in this case is 100% correct. The user (or tagger) has provided SC with conflicting data: it is therefore up to SC to decide which to follow, and it is free to just make it up. Given your dataset above, what would be the correct artist sort? Or would that make for two artists (which would break a bunch of people...) As for ways to abuse this for fun and profit: Artist="Frank Sinatra" ArtistSort="Sinatra, Frank" Artist="Antontio Carlos Jobim" ArtistSort="Jobim, Antonio Carlos" Artist="Frank Sinatra;Antonio Carlos Jobim" -noartistsort- With a bit of magic you're past the unpredictable nature of 1-to-1 matches on artist/artistsort. The last set will be properly credited to both artists (no need to make a fake artist 'Sinatra & Jobim' artist) and sorted correctly. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44638 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
