Out of curiosity, what version of iTunes do you use? I have v7.6.2.9 which allows the user to show "Artist", "Album Artist" and/or "Sort Album Artist". I can't see an "Album by Artist" column like yours. Either way, whenever you see "album artist" in iTunes, for mp3 files it's actually the Band tag that it is stored in, due to it mis-using that tag. Album Artist is the column title that you can see in the grid, and it groups songs in the list by that when in "album view" display mode, but that's about all that iTunes will do with it. eg. if you set an album artist, it won't appear in the artist filter. Only the content of artists appears in the list, and you get all artists even if they only appear on one song in a compilation. So in iTunes if you have an album with songs by different artists, and set it as not a compilation album and set an "album artist" (really this is band), then that band will not appear in the list of artists. SqueezeCenter is much more intelligent and conformant to standards. I dare say that something will be changed to allow it to work in a non-standard way to make it act like iTunes. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
