Philip, if you get back and re read the example I have presented, you'd see that I already have Diana Krall as an artist of her solo albums. She does appear in a list of artist with or without Ray Charles' album. The problem is that Dian Krall who sings on a track with Ray Charles doesn't 'see' Diana Krall solo artist. They have different roles (artist and track artist) and those roles don't lead to each other in browser links or drilling down in SB. So, all my exercise with the Compilation tags has a purpose to enable that, to equalize track artist and artist in visibility to each other, that is. Actually, there is even inconsistency in this behavior (if COMPILATION is not set). Track artist can't see artist. Artist can see track artist but only on the first level of browsing. If you keep drilling down or follow the artist link further from the first level, then track artist's albums also disappear. I understand that it might not make sense to you, but that is how it works, and that is how I use it to achieve desired behavior. If you have more elegant solution that achieves the same, I'm all ears (but please, try to understand the problem before reacting) K -- slimkid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iAj2aPdQnk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wUP07DVq9E http://youtube.com/watch?v=nlrpe8Ig5m8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=dC9tGlwPln8 ATGATT: Because walking away in disgust beats riding away in an ambulance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55941 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
