Sorry. Error between brain and typing fingers. I meant to type "3v1" as in ID3v1. Philip Meyer;356372 Wrote: > I use Mp3Tag.

I haven't gotten very far on this. I did check the MySQL database and confirmed that contributors.namesort isn't being populated from ARTISTSORT. (I experimentally manually updated a couple records and they then sorted fine. This is the way it should work, of course, but it proves that the issue is with the scanner not populating the database properly.) I also had a look to try to figure out how the scanner code works, but I know little about perl, and a Byzantine application like this one is not a good place to start. My suspicion is that the ARTISTSORT tag in the FLAC is getting overridden by the cuesheet, either by the PERFORMER tag for the whole disc or by the PERFORMER tag for the individual cut. (The code seems to convert PERFORMER into ARTIST, if I understand it correctly.) I'd be happy to insert an ARTISTSORT (TRACKARTISTSORT?) into the cuesheet, but none of my digging has turned up any example of how that could be done, if in fact there is a way to do it. -- stephenkca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stephenkca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7820 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53954 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
