I must stress that muso is not an LMS web skin, it wasn't my intention that it mirrors the LMS database exactly, the design of the database and the way it collates tracks into albums is specific to muso, and is not intended to mirror the LMS database precisely - I simply offer an import facility from LMS into that database. What I call an "Album Artist" is also sometimes termed a "Titled" artist, and are those artists to which the whole of an album can be attributed - the catalog only lists by this titled artist, not guest artists. For example compilations appear under "Various Artists" rather than repeating for every single contributing artist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
