Long story. :) ARTISTSORT is fairly straightforward. I take something like an artist name of "Miles Davis" and create an artist sort order by using lastname, firstname. When browsing by artist, SlimServer will use the ARTISTSORT that you designate rather than the ARTIST name. ARTIST=Miles Davis ARTISTSORT=Davis, Miles ARTIST=Stevie Ray Vaughan ARTISTSORT=Vaughan, Stevie Ray ARTIST=The Rolling Stones ARTISTSORT=Rolling Stones The last instance, that of removing leading articles, can be done by SlimServer, but I choose to do it myself. ALBUMSORT works similarly - you might want to remove leading articles, but the reason I use it right now is to fool the Browse by Artwork, which has no sorting ability (other than to use the ALBUM name) into sorting by artist/year/album_name. For instance, with the standard tags that EAC creates: ARTIST=Miles Davis ALBUM=The Musings of Miles YEAR=1955 I end up with: ARTIST=Miles Davis ALBUM=The Musings of Miles YEAR=1955 ARTISTSORT=Davis, Miles ALBUMSORT=Davis, Miles|1955|Musings of Miles -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18533 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
