ok, but understand that i don't know how flac works and that id3 (afaik) doesn't officially recognize tpe2 as an albumartist tag, so i took the gist of his post to mean that there was no problem. believe me, i appreciate his help or anyones, but i am in the dark in understanding HOW his observation helps, but i have no problem believing it when you say it does. again, i'd be very curious to see what flac would do if he had multiple artists on one album (and if he removed his albumsort tags). radish;289221 Wrote: > What I believe Ben was alluding to is the fact that you're asking for > major changes to How Things Work Now(tm).

(what can i say, i'm an altruist) in other words, i can understand Ben or anyone being nervous about fixing problems, and i realize that even tho he replied to my post, he was talking about someone elses who was saying its not worth filing bugs, but what bothers me about what he said is that IF it is necessary to scrap everything to create a new system that will work properly for everyone then so be it. this device is not sold as "flac only." radish;289221 Wrote: > I write all of this to try and explain why there needs to be a lot of > discussion and back-and-forth before anything is actually done, and why > sometimes what seem like minor changes aren't considered such by the > devs. This isn't a reason not to change things which are broken, but it > is a reason to think twice (or three times) before jumping. absolutely in total agreement there. personally, i hink it is slims job to create a flowchart to show how tings in a basic generic setup work regarding tags for mp3, or flac, since SC7 is their baby and since they write it. they know what the expectations are, they should document them. and that would make it easy for all of us to either identify whats wrong with our tags, or with SC7s handling of them. -- 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
