Yes, that is correct. > > Desired Effect: Since all tracks are tagged identically with "Leave > This Town" as the album title, I'd expect all 14 tracks to show up under > this single album title. > Would you? See, I wouldn't. Counter Example: I have three albums, all by Robert Fripp, all titled 'Exposure'. One is a reissue of the original LP (released just a couple years ago as CD, finally). One is the first release of the CD (circa 1986 or so I think). One is the 'third edition' release which has yet another set of tracks on it. Many of the tracks are the same across all three editions, however sometimes a track sung by Peter Hammill has Daryl Hall singing, or other lineup changes. (RCA complained about how many tracks Hall sang on, saying he'd crossed too far from 'guest' into band member or some such.) I do not want all three lumped together, so they are each in their own folder, which keeps them separate. Basically the directory is used as a way to detect "two albums with the same name. Admittedly the Exposure example is extreme: but I have several albums named "MTV Acustico" and "Unplugged" and such... they arent Various Artist albums, but if the directory rule changed, they might very well be detected as huge VA releases. Computers are dumb: they don't know how to sort things other than how you tell it to sort. The 'group by directory' clause in the sort logic solves a ton of problems in most cases. (The prior method meant the user had to list all the "common album names" where they had two or more distinct albums with the same name... which is not pleasant either and needed more adjusting in more cases than the directory clause.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67444 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
