yeah, i understood that it was for any clashing album name, but its good to point it out. still, my solution would work, "Circus (Take That)" and "Circus (Spears)" may not be pretty, but effective. so far my dupe names are typical "Greatest Hits" "Very best of" "the definitive collection" etc... it would be interesting to see how SC handles it today, esp in cases where an albumartist is set since that should mean its NOT a comp. but this whole circumstance is just another reason why logics should be optional. i'm not saying i disagree with how GH logic functions, it may or may not need folder location to really work well, but clearly some users would be better off without it. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (my home) / SBR (parent's home) / SBC (my home) - w/SC 7.3.2b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57807 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
