Yap, that was a big surprise for me too. There are threee discrete states here, COMP=0, COMP=1 and no COMP at all. Now, cross it with other possibilities (single artist, multiple artists, single disc, multiple discs, band, no band ....) you get the idea. Not all scenarios are handled, some behavior is simply result of 'slip through' in the program logic. I use ALBUMARTIST only if I want an album to be listed by it, otherwise ARTIST should do. Mostly it is because sometimes I care about the performer and want to see it in the artist list, sometimes not. For example, if the composer is Chopin, he goes into ARTIST, if the performer is Pogorelich, he becomes ALBUMARTIST; if the performer is Ashkenazy, he goes into BAND or COMMENT and ALBUMARTIST remains non existent. Tracks get COMPILATION=0. That way Albums in album view are listed by Pogorelich (where he plays) or Chopin (where Ashkenazy plays). Both Pogorelich and Chopin show in Artist view and underneath that are all their participating albums. Generally, for tagging clasiccal music, composer always gets ARTIST tag, and depending if I'm interested in performer or not, they can get ALBUMARTIST, BAND or COMMENT. In more interesting example, Ray Charles plays with bunch of his friends. For some of them I care, for some not. So every friend is ARTIST on his own track, Ray Charles is ALBUMARTIST and the friends I care about get COMPILATION=0, others don't have that tag at all.

DVD performance will also increase substantially. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iAj2aPdQnk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvMNuuFSvN0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDRhRv4q_SI http://youtube.com/watch?v=nlrpe8Ig5m8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=dC9tGlwPln8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 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
