"as the sorted list as used by librarians" That is yet another issue. No librarian would ever sort "Mike Oldfield" under M. The artists name is, for a librarian, "Oldfield, Mike". It's okay to write "Mike Oldfield" beneath the image of the CD, the record company does it also. But it's not okay to sort by the first name...
But Banshee even sorts "NDW" above "Native American", because obviously it sorts all capital letters before non-caps, despite their order being case-insensitive. For librarians... :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776714 Title: Compilation artists should not be listed in artists view separately Status in banshee package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: banshee This might be a part of other usability improvement request, but I had not found an explicit bug report for this. Consider having a huge compilation album from some festival with hundreds of tracks by different performers. This will make Artists view very hard to browse. As suggested in related question[1] this could be fixed by putting some text into "Compilation album artist" field. An elegant solution, but should not Banshee have an embedded solution for that? Many other players do (see screenshot[2] of Clementine, for example). --- [1]: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38960/how-can-i-unclutter-artists-view-in-banshee [2]: http://i.imgur.com/FAtjQ.png To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/776714/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
