That's really bad. There should be a simple config file to adjust which tag is used for each view.
But, well, the tag "albumartistsort" for the album and "artistsort" for the single track artist exactly do what you and the librarian are worried about - listing "Mike Oldfield" as "Oldfield, Mike" and "The Beatles" as "Beatles, The" "The Drunken Sailors" as "Drunken Sailors, The"... Which still doesn't solve the capital letter issue... BTW: If you autotag with the Musicbrainz Database these aren't created automatically but edited by users. Check out the Musicbrainz Picard program - it's free and does all that (heavily customizable by settings and plugins)... yeah, you probably knew about it anyway, I get a bit offtopic here in an official bug report... (but who care's... it's not maintained anyway...)

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
