They may also chose to spend some time anf energy trying to create and enforce some sort of standard, which is basically a delaying tactic before succumbing to option two. Every time I go to my user page and see their complaints about my kid's audiobooks being tagged JK Rowling instead of J.K. Rowling, I am further convinced that last.fm is in a headlong rush towards option two. -- I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander -- traditional ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Annoying, though, as I quite like the service, in principle.

Trying to get aliases etc on Musicbrainz does not help - last.fm doesn't use the info correctly anyway. Therefore, the best solution for me would be to have custom tags for last.fm submission, I think. If we created a tag called 'lastfmartist', say, and configured the scrobbler to submit this (when present), then I would be sorted. Is this possible? Any better solutions? Adam Hi Adam, Have you looked at artist sort order? I use it, and it keeps David Bowie with the B instead of sorted with the D. It displays David Bowie (which is his stage name, not Bowie, David :) ) It keeps LastFM happy as well...
