as is often the case, you look at users from the POV of how they SHOULD be, esp to work with how SBS is now; whereas i look at users as how they come to SBS, and what, if anything, can SBS do to work better with them as is.
there's nothing wrong with either approach in an academic sense, and certainly there are times the user must change b/c it isn't reasonable to ask the app to; but the trend certainly seems to be that logitech is attempting to dummyproof its software as much as possible and wants to work with what it finds, within reason of course, as opposed to trying to get users to do what it wishes they would do. having said that... like it or not, 1/1 is a reality. many apps apply it, and yet don't do so uniformly across a disc. WMP for example (which i don't rip with but have exp of) will set Disc=1/1 on files, but will often not assign it to ALL files of a given album. it is esp prone to this when updating files tags ripped by other software, and given the tagging source it uses, i am sure its not alone. if users have a folder where some files are 1/1 and others blank, and the album tags are the same, i think its a very safe assumption for SBS to make that the blank Disc tag files are in fact part of the 1/1 files. as aubuti noted, 1/1 implies there are no other discs. any download that may come with a 1/1 disc should not be put into the same folder and share the same album name, UNLESS the user wants the file to be considered part of that album to begin with. (why else would they do so, since it'd be done deliberately as a DL?) anyway, i find it kind of amusing you "don't like special cases" but have no problem with SBS having a special case category name that conflicts with tons of mainstream apps and tagging sources and makes such tagged music missing from SBS view. not trying to open that can of worms, but had to mention it. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.4.2b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 35k mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70494 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
