I used to do something similar with years to handle boots. I would add 1000 years to the years. Using Original Year, I don't think will help you as I think sorting by year fixes on the Year tag only. It was fairly easy to deal with since I didn't really care that the year tag was right. It kept the boots in chronological order, and all my boots have Album Title's that have the real date; I see you do the same type of thing with the Album Title.
If you really want the original year, your best bet maybe to create a different Artist or Album Artist to put the boots under someone completely different. Since I've cleaned up my tags and albums in the past few years I've gone to this solution. For instance, for the few bootlegs I have by Radiohead, the album artist is Radiohead (boot). I then have two different artists with the boots under one and the proper releases under another. I could now go back and alter the dates as needed. Ultimately, you'll have to compromise with something. In my case, the artist names are not "correct" or the "years" are not correct. I have to choose one. Alternatively, you could sort by Album and count on the AlbumSort tag. If I were going to do that, I'd have to think long and hard only because if you ever browse by all your albums, the AlbumSort will influence how you browse by Album. WHat works for one artist, may not work if you are browsing by album without regard to artist. If you didn't care, then you could number the AlbumSort tag so that albums list in the order you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98132 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
