I would never use ALBUMARTIST for a tribute album. Much of the time these will be compilation albums, but they're often from single artists. For example, John Scofield's -'That's What I Say: John Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles'-. I wouldn't want that album to appear when I browse Ray Charles' albums, and when browsing albums sorted by artist I want it sorted under John Scofield. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75308 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
