The app works largely as designed (although I do agree that there could be more done to document how it works/should be used).

WRONG. A lot of things are optional; much more so than other applications. More options make it harder to support and maintain and that means more chance of bugs. >how many times phil, do you need to see examples like this >thread in the forums to sow you that people do NOT intuitively >understand what SC is doing? > How many of those people don't understand tagging in general; don't understand how other applications treat their tags. How many other applictions have good forums like this one? What is the percentage - how many people do understand tagging and think what we have is great? How many actually see serious problems that they find unacceptable, and how many are not too bothered (minor issues). In many cases, a few minor explanations, and people catch on and do then see the intuitive nature of the tagging/scanning/browsing. >why not make VA detection optional Because there's absolutely no need. If there are album artist tags for every album, then there will be no compilation albums. If all songs are by the same artists, then the album is not a compilation. If songs are by different artists, and there's not album artist tag, then the album is a compilation. If it wasn't automatically marked as a compilation, it would think that each song with a different artist is a different album, unless you want it to belong to one of the artists picked arbitrarily. i.e. turning off this auto compilation detection would likely cause other problems. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
