Unfortunately the year attribute is not well defined and is used inconsistently. Some people put the release year of the album here (this is also what happens when you tag your files with MusicBrainz Picard), while others use it for the year when the particular track has originally been released (which is what I prefer). Normally both will be the same, but it makes a difference for compilations, for example. I don't even know where the album year is taken from. I guess it's either from the first track the scanner happens to encounter, or the from the year attrbute of track 1. Btw., there's a similar problem with album artwork. While it is possible to attach different images to each track (I actually did that for some whitesleeve vinyl singles, where I tagged the tracks with a scan of the center label from side A or side B, respectively), SBS will just pick one of the images and apply that to the whole album. jimwillsher;499886 Wrote: > It seem seen more silly to then show am empty year placeholder. The funny thing is that if there is at least one album displayed, there is also an "All Tracks" button which in fact shows all the tracks from that year, including those not from one of the listed albums. So the actual bug is that the "All tracks" button is omitted when there are no albums shown. wowo;499924 Wrote: > If you want to set everything as you want: > take a look at the 3rd party plugins: "Custom Browse"and "Custom Scan" Yes, having a closer look at the Custom Scan plugin is already on my to do list. I'm just a bit scared that I might have to re-tag all of my 18000 tracks for optimal results. :) -- usch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73144 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
