yes, it definitely does use the tags. Only when no valid tags can be found, will it then use something based on directory structure and matching the patterns set in server settings, formats, Guess Tags. > It is definitely a bug (IMHO) because when I view an artist, Slimserver > will show an album that is not by that artist, all because in that album > is a song title that also happens to be by the original artist. This is > wrong and does not happen on any other music software I use (including > portable music players). I'd suggest that you check your tags first. The server will look for other contributor tags, such as composer, band, orig artist etc. Those are included as 'artists' for the purposes of browse by artist and more. There is a server setting for this under server settings, behavior (I think, might be another tab). The setting is Composer in Artists. You may have to rescan (or even wipe cache) after changing this setting to reindex all the artist info from your songs. If you do eventually determine that this is now happening, please do file a bug report and attach the two files in question that highlight this effect. cheers, kdf -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
