Hmm, I assume all of this is due to how the albums are scanned by SBS. That's unfortunate that only the one artist is displayed, but I suppose the fact that the functionality exists to search for all the artists tagged is a good thing, and more functional that if I tagged ARTIST=Plant & Page, versus ARTIST=Plant, ARTIST=Page. As I can attach multiple artwork to each FLAC file, is there any sort of naming preference for them that could help here? If I attach the cover art of the compilation to all files and call it folder.jpg, and also attach individual artwork named something else, would it default to showing the folder.jpg, or is it truly random? -- crazyj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crazyj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72468 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
