Indeed - I do have soundtracks and compilations with U2 tracks on them (When you have that much music, you have compilations with almost all artists represented). If indeed having ARTISTSORT defined for a compilation album causes the problem you describe - that could go a long way to explaining my issues. Seems like a bug - I'd think the idea of ARTISTSORT for an album would be to define what artist name to sort that album under. I'll try deleting the ARTISTSORT tags from some of my compilations as a test to see if it helps. -- Random Lurker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Random Lurker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21320 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55335 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
