I believe I am beginning to see a pattern. I got somewhat side-tracked by my belief that ComposerSort was inspected by LMS. However, it seems that neither it nor ConductorSort are, but BandSort, ArtistSort and AlbumArtistSort are. That's all OK. What isn't OK is that some valid ArtistSort and

Actually playing DSD on a Squeezebox Touch won't do much good compared to the PCM version (24/96 or 24/192) . This is because LMS will transcode DSD to PCM anyway. You need to have a DSD DAC in order to hear the real benefit.

Are you sure you understand the table relationships in the database? The 'contributors' table is just a collection of names with name, name_sort name_search fields. There's nothing in the contributors table that identifies a contributor as a track-artist, album-artist, conductor, etc. That is

PS: If I had to guess, I'd guess that the undesirable scan and sort behavior you're seeing is a byproduct of code that was introduced as a fix for bug 16956. See: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16956 I've run into problems myself with that code. I've had to essentially run a fork

Finally, it seems what you're really asking for is an enhancement to the scanner to recognize your ComposerSort and ConductorSort tags. Is that right? gharris999's Profile:

Hi all, A couple days ago I installed SSODS (I used pinkdots ssods version and it´s now running LMS 7.9.0 - 142832773) successfully on my NAS (Syno DS213) and wanted to give DSD a try. [Out of curiosity I´d like to find out myself if there is a sonic (audible) advantage with this kind of high

But here's the thing: if the scanner scans a file with André_George_Previn_the_conductor_or_composer -after- it scans a file with André_George_Previn_the_album_artist, then the contributor.namesort field is always going to be overwritten with the default LMS generated ANDRé GEORGE PREVIN
