I think it would appear under both CSN and CSNY, but you should experiment and see whether or not it works the way you like. If scanning your whole library takes too long for you to want to experiment, set up a small test music library with maybe 50 or 100 albums _copied_ from your main library. Then do anything you like to the tagging within the test library and see what happens. > And for ARTIST, could I input each band member as an artist, ie.

SbS doesn't separate an artist's 'full' albums from those on which the artist is just a guest or collaborator. So under Paul Simon, all of the Simon & Garfunkel albums would be mixed in. If that's what you want then go for it. > On a seperate note, I seem to be ending up with dozens of albums in the > "Various Artists" listing at the beginning of Artist View, seemingly > whenever SBS detects more than one artist on an album. Any cure? That's probably the main reason to use ALBUMARTIST. If you have an album with guest artists, adding the ALBUMARTIST tag should assign the album to that artist and make SbS mark it a non-compilation. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74224 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
