Yes, it does. When it comes to sorting albums by artist it picks one, I think maybe the first one found in the tags. I find that it's better to treat them as a group/duo in my tags and then place the individual artists in ARTIST tags. It does tend to clutter up the Artist list, but an advantage is that you get to dictate where the album is sorted by using the ALBUMARTISTSORT/TSO2 tag. ALBUMARTIST=Robert Plant & Alison Krauss ALBUMARTISTSORT=Plant, Robert & Krauss, Alison ARTIST=Robert Plant ARTIST=Alison Krauss I end up with an artist list with stuff like this: Stan Getz Stan Getz & João Gilberto Stan Getz & Lionel Hampton Stan Getz & Oscar Peterson Stan Getz & Cal Tjader -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84475
