"sub optimal tagging" says you. kinda like pornography, right? you know it when you see it? whats the sign for eyes rolling? and you are not an authority or standard or pgm or service of any note or consequence, nor do you have any back up to your assertions other than your own feelings, which frankly, aren't valid. you are wrong phil, get over yourself. you are not the god of tagging.

Gracenote, and your beloved WinAmp, > it appears, does not. please, "de facto" phil, "de facto." [as you so kindly pointed out] wrong, Gracenote, and Winamp, are the FORCES BEHIND some de facto standards, right or wrong, like it or not. they aren't the only ones, and sometimes these big companies / products / services conflict with each other, that isn't my concern and it shouldn't be slims. what IS relevant here, is that slim should deal with whats going to come down the pike and out of the marketplace as well as it possibly can. it isn't for slim to bless this or that. it is for slim to recognize the lay of the land. TCMP comes to mind. the fact of the matter is, MANY apps, like winamp, WMP, and others, set TPE2 to be album artist, (comp or not) and further set that field to say "Various Artists" when the track is from a comp. thats b/c the services they use, like Gracenote, AMG, and others report AA info, (which you previously erroneously denied). you might not personally like it phil, and hell, maybe i don't either, but SO WHAT? WHO CARES? that doesn't change the fact that SC should handle the situation "gracefully" for what is a huge, mammoth, part of the marketshare. to say that it ISN'T a bug when SC hides music it scanned just b/c of a string it found which anyone using ANY of those apps or services is going to have, is LUNACY in the first degree.
