why is it contradictory? first of all, gracenote and [some] other taggers use this convention. secondly, i use other apps besides SC. i need to group things with them as well. using TPE2 to say "Various Artists" or "Soundtracks" or whatever for albums that actually are compilations seems to make a lot of sense to me, and apparently Gracenote and others as well. surely you don't think thats something i alone do?

(not a bad idea for a new band name though :) for the purposes of SC, i could just delete the TPE2 tags of "Various Artists" but like i said, SC isn't the only app i use. the SC code only looks for "Various Artists" btw in the tags artist field, TPE1, not in TPE2. the issue remains that even though my TPE2=VA albums are not identified as comps to SC, they can't be found anywhere in the Home->Artists list. is it your contention i should not be able to find them there? shouldn't they be under the SC ALBUMARTIST value? in this case, "Various Artists"? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 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=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
