1. how did you show you were right? what examples did you give showing you were right? 2. you asked me for examples of what? i'll happily provide them. the thing that doesn't make any sense about what you are saying is that we never even got to discussing brass tacks how the second camp could be accommodated without infringing the first, yet you've already reached your conclusion! lots of sense that makes. 3. what personal attacks??? are you kidding me? there was NO PERSONAL ATTACK, gimmie a break! this is drama queen territory, ...just b/c you and snarly and whoever else feel i'm wrong doesn't give you a license to villify me and/or accuse me of things i didn't do.

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. how does winamp NOT handle comps well? how is it "buggy?" winamp simultaneously lists ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST and you can immediately sort via either on the fly with no delay. can SC do that? [no, it can't] any user of winamp can use any tag to mean comp to them in AA, so again, as i said winamp is not, i grant you, "aware" of comps, but it handles them just fine, especially given how gracenote handles them, which is similar to other systems like gracenote, and beyond winamps control.

Your threshold > for what qualifies as a bug seems to be higher for WinAmp, and > considerably lower for SqueezeCenter. it depends, largely its semantic. "bug" can be a catchall term. regardless, my point to you is that winamp doesn't suffer any drawback or "bug" that i can see simply b/c it has chosen to not yet be aware of comps. i'm not saying i don't want winamp to support it, i put in a req and got it on the wishlist myself, (mostly so i could get it to edit comp tags for SC) but to say that winamp is somehow sub par or shouldn't be used, as you did, is silly. i do not see what i am missing out on b/c winamp isn't aware of comps. if it was aware, i'd use it pretty much exactly the same way, so wheres the drawback? and the much larger point is that regardless of what you or i think, winamp is a HUGE app in the marketplace, just like WMP, and creates data that is brought to SC, but you want to ignore that fact.
