can you please document the problems you found? i think it is well worth it if only to save people like me from a lot of frustration. imo, the first problem is in SC7 / itunes "integration." there should be no "integration" with any program b/c i think it leads to other issues like the ones we are seeing here. basically, SC7 should have certain reasonable generic assumptions about someones setup, and then act in predictable ways based on typical tag data (or whatever). secondly, i think the main thing that needs to happen right now, is someone at slim needs to become the czar of all these related issues and hammer them out. they could start by taking the current option "list albums by band" and eliminating it, and replacing it with the following two options: 1. SORT albums via the TPE2 tag, aka the band tag, or in some software the albumartist tag. 2. when displaying albums in a list, use the TPE2 tag for the artists name. (number 2 above is what the current "list albums by band" option does now, and is necessary in case people want to sort by band, but use TPE1 tags to identify the artists) SLIM DEVICES, or the community, what say you? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / Jive - w/SC 7.0.1beta - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45457 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
