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.

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. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57922 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
