And I'm saying it would.  Considering that I've provided examples of
why I'm right, and when I asked you for examples of why you're right,
you stooped to personal attacks, I think people got the drift.

Let me correct your statement: YOU don't need WinAmp to know if it's a
comp or not.  WinAmp doesn't have any needs--it's software.  Users need
WinAmp to do certain things, and those needs vary.  Those who need it to
handle compilations well will be/have been disappointed.  Examples:
Compilations that also should be filed under artists, people who want
compilations to sort under something other than "various artists" (i.e.
non-english speakers), people who have an artist name that's the same as
their compilation name.

The fact that it completely falls over and fails to do the job at all,
in the examples I listed, qualifies as a bug.  Your standards for what
qualifies as a bug may be lower.

And here's where we come back to the 2+2 example.  Most people only
need to be told that 2+2=4 once.  The fact that people do not know this
intuitively from birth doesn't mean it's not true.  At some point,
learning happens.  The people you are referring to, in this thread and
others, have (hopefully) learned.  They now know how to tag
compilations, but they didn't when they originally posted.

The people complaining now are not the same people who complained
before.  Those people have matriculated.  And every year a fresh batch
of young kids comes into the classroom, and you're still in the same
classroom year after year, saying that there's always a kid who thinks
2+2=3, therefore the textbook is wrong.

I've done my job here.  It's not to convince you.  It's just to point
out that you're wrong in such clear terms that you no longer serve as a
source of misinformation.
