Thanks for the info. I will likely do the same and go with the TXXX ALBUM ARTIST tag. I hadn't lost the info on too many files since it has only affected music I've received since the feature was changed in 2.46d. The bigger issue may be trying to access the TXXX ALBUMARTIST tag that is still there in all my previous files and trying to write it over to a TXXX ALBUM ARTIST tag. I'll have to dig in a little deeper. I do think that they have a right to do what they want with their software. While it may be what people tend to do with the TPE2 tag (and I did in the past), I think it is nice to at least provide an option to get back to the way things were (a toggle maybe). -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83073 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
