"Severly mistagged" is all in the eye of the beholder. I have so much music with so many genres (which in my mind are VERY subjective and random), I don't enjoy browsing by genre. I do use it "by exclusion" for some views in J River Media center - for example, don't display all albums with GENRE = CHRISTMAS. However, I see your point - the problem is that nowhere are the sort priority/rules defined so a new user would know what to set. This helped explain things for me: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7698 The punchline: -I need to remove all ARTISTSORT tags from my compilations (or set each track individually) - if that happens SC will not override the sort order for those artists. The remaining problem: -I would like all of these soundtrack albums grouped together while using an Artist / Album view. I have seen reference to some requests for ALBUMARTISTSORT ranking... I'll have to investigate to see if this is my same issue. It is just frustrating because I have other existing setups that provide exactly the behavior I want based on tags I have carefully scrubbed - and I can't even achieve that behavior in SC even by adding tags. -- 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
