EAC uses Freedb which is basically "random users on the 'net typed this in, with no real peer review, consistency or even spelling correction" So, your initial dataset from the tags is... random. And you think a search function would be useful? Really, the first order should be to check your tags for consistency: is Elvis filed under 'Elvis'? Or 'Elvis Presley'? Or did someone have a misguided sense of reality and try to force an artist sort by setting the artist to 'Presley, Elvis'? The Search function works off... tags (unless you have no tags at all on your music, which is even harder to fix). If the data in the tags is crap, searching will be craptastic. Musicbrainz is a pain in the butt most days and there are religious wars about the 'right' way to tag things...but..at least it is consistent (mostly, I still don't understand their disparity between Santana and Carlos Santana). But with the random data of Freedb... no wonder you have problems. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
