can you please explain this a bit more to me... i have another thread where i say the VA logic is useless. i go on to say that a user should say a comp is a comp explicitly, either by comp tag or having terms SC7 would know are for comps. so i think we both understand that "Compilation=1" is the user telling SC7 that it must consider the album to be a compilation. why then, would "Compilation=0" and having no comp tag at all, not be considered the same thing? (would they be considered the same thing if the VA logic didn't exist?) how exactly does SC7 treat these two discrete states differently? i'm just confused by this. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - 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=47202 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
