Phil -
Thanks again for all of your help - you have a keen grasp of how SC
works.  I'll continue to head that way (slowly)

Re: your last post, I suppose splitting out Soundtrack from
Compilations is a matter of personal preference - but I can tell you my
thinking.  A compilation, as I use the term, is a collection of
previously issued material that [generally] I have purchased to acquire
the individual songs.  With such collections, I am less interested in
hearing the complete album from start to finish than I am in when it
comes to other parts of my collection.  In addition, I have way too
many of these compilations, and therefore searching through the Various
Artists list of albums is cumbersome.

Soundtracks, to me, have a few differences.
1. Many film soundtracks I enjoy are a combination of previously issued
material PLUS material first introduced (and in some cases only
available) on the soundtrack album.  To me this is a bit different than
a compilation (as personally defined)
2. I am much more interested in listening to a soundtrack album from
start to finish.  I probably bought it in the first place because I
liked the way the overall music was part of, or enhanced, the film.
3. I have way fewer soundtrack albums than compilations, and my tags
give me an easy way to get a list of my soundtrack albums. I seldom
browse or search by album title, so this works better than putting an
"OST" in the album title.


...so, I guess it just works for me. I think a final part of that is
that this matches up to the way that I always physically sorted the
actual CDs, thereby preserving the sort in my head.
