If it is true that 1 instance of an ARTISTSORT tag can set the value for that artist across the board, I can see a problem: -Library has 1 soundtrack album with multiple artists, ARTISTSORT tag is set to "soundtracks" (or any other value) -Library has an album by 1 of the soundtrack track artists, with ARTISTSORT set to that artist (Let's say U2) -If the scan process reads in the soundtrack first and does set the ARTISTSORT value in the db for all U2 tracks to either "Various Artists" or "Soundtracks" - That would explain most of my problems. -- 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
