Re: [slim] Album Artist Browsing - PLEASE

[shlomomofo]

did you leave the ALBUMARTIST tags intact?  i have the same server setup
as you, and still can't seem to get the BAND to appear in the artist
list.  they all just go into the generic various artist category. 

for all album artist albums, i have BAND (i.e. ID3 TPE2) and ALBUM
ARTIST (i.e. ID3 TXXX) set to the same thing.  i use ALBUM ARTIST
because it works well with foobar2000.

i use foobar2000 to tag, so maybe that is the issue.  shouldn't be,
though..

Question: quot;gaplessquot; crossfade type would be useful

- Yes - I'd use it
- No - not interested


i registered just to post this message...

squeezebox looks awesome, but the lack of gapless mp3 playback is a
dealbreaker for me, and probably for a lot of other people too.  i
think more people use lame mp3 than either ogg or flac, even though
those formats are superior in terms of quality.

all lame mp3s have tags to make gapless playback posssible, for
example:
enc_delay = 576
enc_padding = 1812
mp3_accurate_length = yes

foobar2000 is able to do perfect gapless playback using this info.  i
have about 120 gigs of music, mostly in lame mp3.  i was all set to get
a squeezebox, until i discovered it couldn't do gapless mp3.  hopefully
this gets fixed soon.  everything else about the slimserver/squeezebox
setup is really sweet.

btw, there's probably way more views than votes because prospective
buyers look here to find that squeezebox can't play their dark side of
the moon mp3s gaplessly, and then they move on.
