As an aside, my current approach is to NOT add an "Album Artist" to my compilations. I leave this blank UNLESS I want the comp album to be credited to a certain artist. For example, I want my Gram Parsons Tribute Album to show up under the artist listing for Gram Parsons, so I add "Gram Parsons" as album artist. And all comp albums are identified with COMPILAtION = 1. In Settings, I have the compilations showing up under "Compilations". Without the VA Album Artist tag, this makes my VA listing much cleaner (i.e., the few CDs I have where they are truly VA, but not really compilations....I know that sounds confusing). For other nonComp CDs, I don't use Album Artist unless: 1. there is at least one track with an additional/different track artist (so that album doesn't get treated as Compilation by SB) 2. I want the album to show up under a generic artist name rather than the specific name (Neil Young as AA even though "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" as Track Artist. For me, this all works well with SB, with foobar2000, and with itunes (when I create a mirror mp3 directory for use there). -- garym Location 1: Vortexbox Appliance 6TB (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: Win7(64) laptop > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92049 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
