It makes little sense to recognize multiple VA strings when you can accomplish this with the COMPILATION field. I don't know how it currently works (and 7.6 is very early in its development), but if the logic permits COMPILATION=0 to override the recognition of the VA string, then that would easily permit a user to defeat the behavior. > *3.* it probably goes without saying, but explicit comp tags should > always take precendence over defining comp status to SBS. string > recognition functions should not trump that. Fine. > *4.* since i am sure it has become apparent to you, the devs, that most > users will come to SBS with either explicit comp tags (itunes) or AA > tags, (WMP, winamp, loads of others) i think you now see that your > current VA detection logic is in those cases, totally moot. I think this is a very unlikely assumption. Many (perhaps even most) users use neither iTunes or another music manager for ripping or tagging. Assuming that a given field is present (instead of handling the many cases where it is not) is guaranteed to fail. > that being the case, it makes sense to make that unnecessary logic > OPTIONAL, so that users who don't need or want it can turn it off. > Erland did the code already: If your #3 is true, then there's absolutely no reason to defeat the VA logic. If you want to use explicit COMPILATION tags on everything, go ahead and knock yourself out. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78205 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
