Wow!!! Damn, it works! Thanks!!! For the future the tags on the example album in mp3tag, after selecting all songs displayed in Extended Tags menu entry: ALBUM = Coastal Breaks II ALBUMARTIST = Adam Freeland ARTIST = <keep> DISCNUMBER = 1/2 TITLE = <keep> TRACK = <keep> YEAR = 1998 so if i browse/search now in the catalogue, i'll find this album under adam freeland's name! Thank you again to all of you for your help! -- whatwho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ whatwho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43380 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
