I believe I am beginning to see a pattern. I got somewhat side-tracked by my belief that ComposerSort was inspected by LMS. However, it seems that neither it nor ConductorSort are, but BandSort, ArtistSort and AlbumArtistSort are. That's all OK.
What isn't OK is that some valid ArtistSort and AlbumArtistSort tags get overwriiten. The pattern seems to be: - the name has to include an accented character - the name has to be an Artist and/or AlbumArtist and also a Conductor or Composer, or else be a band What happens then is that I get (name,namesort): "André George Previn","ANDRé GEORGE PREVIN" (my ArtistSort is PREVIN ANDRE GEORGE) "André Segovia","ANDRé SEGOVIA" (my ArtistSort is SEGOVIA ANDRE) "István Kertész","ISTVáN KERTéSZ" (my ArtistSort is KERTESZ ISTVAN) "Hallé O","HALLé O" (my BandSort is HALLE O) "RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra","RTÉ NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA" (my BandSort has E for É) But: "André Bernard","BERNARD ANDRE" (is OK - this is only an Artist) "David Willcocks","WILLCOCKS DAVID" (is OK, even though Willocks is a composer, the name has no accent) "The Belcea Quartet","BELCEA QUARTET" (is OK as I set it like this) I think what is happening is that the accented character á or é (etc) in the namesort is causing a later comparison with the sorted name to go wrong. So when Willcocks as a Conductor is found the ArtistSort is not corrupted, but when Previn as a conductor, or Segovia as a Composer, is found the name comparison fails and is corrupted. I don't know where the code is in LMS. If someone can help with finding it I'll go and look. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp to MF M1 CLiC (to MF amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Minimserver (server) & upplay (control point) to same renderers & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to speakers/phones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop with firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103454
