Ah, sorry you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I'd only ever enter one year value in the YEAR tag for each song. The effect of browsing albums by year (Browse Years) though should be that an album can appear under multiple years, because an album would contain songs from different years. The only issue is with Browse Albums, sorted by year - if the album is to appear only once in the list, what year would it be sorted under? The first, last, highest, lowest? I guess it's the same issue as browsing albums sorted by artist, in that there can be multiple artists for an album. i.e. I don't think Squeezebox Server has a specific rule for this sort of behaviour (except if a single album artist had been defined, it would be sorted under that artist). I never use Browse Albums, except for browsing by album name, and that's fairly rare. I use the other browse methods, as they cater for 1-M relationships. Browse Albums needs to effectively do the reverse M-1 mapping when not sorting by album title, so it will not work without assumptions or more data that is not available with standard tags. -- Philip Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65073 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
