yes, it always has, but before it was one line using a separator character. now, titles have their own box, track artists have their own separate one. i like that a lot better. love the artwork feature, but i agree about the lyrics thing, i never use that. but i don't find it sluggish at all. u can turn off artwork lookup if you want, and much of the rest is the same. for my purposes, i only have to add RG tags, and i go in and copy the artwork making the 2nd one called "folder.jpg" so it works with everything, like windows, and so every album has a unique backup image in case folder.jpg gets hit. the new EAC has cut down by a lot my "post-rip" processes time.

(i put the disc number directly in the album tag, so i don't need disc numbers, but i know you don't like that either) Philip Meyer;652197 Wrote: > Columns can't be configured in the track list grid (reorder columns, > hide columns, etc). eg. I want to hide the Add lyrics button (no > interest in it). yeah, i agree with that too. however, i can resize the columns. i would think he'll add some config for this in later versions, (i think he just wanted to implement the grid, which i do like, for now).

CD Artist = Album Artist CD Performer = the Composer field for all tracks on a cd i believe. i use that rarely, but for things like "Led Zeppelin cover" its useful.

(which if you ever have to, is one place where the grid really shines, in its ability to fill many fields at once, as well as auto-complete) -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89708 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
