The artist selected for sorting purposes (albums.contributor) would appear to be the first one in the tags. The artist string that is displayed _should_ be a concatenated list of all of the artist names (unless there is an album artist) and that's the bug that we're talking about - in 7.6 it's only showing one artist. Again, it appears that they used to be listed in the order that they were read from the tags. I don't think this is an unusual tagging situation at all. I happen to use ALBUMARTIST for these albums, but I know not everyone does. When you add ALBUMARTISTs like 'George Adams & Don Pullen' or "Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' it places all of them in the artist list, which many people don't like. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89042 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
