Mp3tag will display Vorbis tags. Load the files, highlight all, right-click and select "Extended tags". You can add/edit/delete there. Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this

Mystery solved. I thought it was the Various album that was causing the problem but it wasn't. It turns out that it's an album in Vorbis format with imbedded tags. I don't see all those tags in LMS, in Tag, or in mp3tag. I'm not sure how to actually view or edit those tags but I think a simpler

Thanks all. I decided to start from basics so I stripped all the Stivell albums out of my music folders and rescanned. And, lo! another album showed up in the Various folder. Interestingly, this album doesn't have Artist names tagged - they all just say "Various" and the artist names are in the

Alan. But when LMS completed a fresh sort Alan Stivell is still under S. Most likely those files do have an ARTISTSORT tag incorrectly set. Any thoughts on why? How to fix? I'm using Tag to tag mp3s. I have 11 Stivell albums plus two tracks in a compilation album. I don't have any Albumartist

As a workaround you could add an ARTISTSORT tag. Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111440

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Artist Name Sorting Anomaly: "Alan"

2020-01-04 Thread Scardeville
This is a strange bug that has bothered me for many years but I never bothered trying to sort it out until now. In my over 6,000 albums I have only one artist whose name is "Alan" and that is "Alan Stivell", the Celtic harpist. I am sorting non-Classical genre by artists' first names so Alan
