Yes, but Custom Browse and Custom Scan are so powerful it typically let's my head spin ;-) I also don't have the time and patience to tag all my stuff by hand, haven't even finished to put all the cover art into the tags correctly, another pain in the ass, they are all fine in iTunes but single tracks still lack coverage in SC... What I would like to see if the tags from iTunes get imported and used correctly. I'm not too obsessed with quality (I just bought a Bose system for a second room just to find it's still way inferior to my 20 year old main setup with a low-priced amp and those fine Canton 3-way speakers) so I sample at least my pop stuff with iTunes to 192kBit mp3. That way I will typically have an artist for every track and if there are multiple tracks there's also an albumartist. Some albums have the latter in the TPE2 tag (back in the old days I used musicmatch until it ceased working and started generating crap). So if I could get this to work in the way I mentioned above I'm completely happy. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47202 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
