Wow. Thank goodness for search. This was exactly my question. I have a few follow-ups though:
1) This thread was left hanging. JJZolx asked if the ARTISTSORT is SlimServer specific. Is it? 2) I hope this one is rhetorical, but just so I make sure I've understood correctly.... I assume that if a track doesn't have the ARTISTSORT (AS) tag set then the Artist tag is used to sort but, if the AS tag is set, then its value is used in place of the Artist tag for sorting. Is this correct? Does this sort order affect all browsing functions, e.g. if I have tracks from an album with Artist tags "David Bowie" and with AS tags "Bowie, David" then all my David Bowie stuff will show up under "B" when I do browse by artist but, when I play something, the Now Playing info will show as "David Bowie". Is all this correct? 3) Does capitalisation matter in tags, i.e. does it have to be all capitals? On a related note, how do tags work in FLAC/Slimserver? Do FLAC files allow for the embedding of ID3 tags or is there some seperate tag format for FLAC? If both alternatives are possible then which is SlimServer using? Is ARTISTSORT a FLAC tag or an embedded ID3 tag? - Julian -- JulianL _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
