good point and to emphasize your point above, even if the artist has an artistsort tag IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TRACK IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ALBUM it will change the treatment of how things show up in the album you are looking at above that does NOT have an artistsort tag. This oddity has plagued SbS/LMS users for a long time I think.... So I'd look for any tracks from any albums related to the artist in question, pull these up in mp3tag, and look for things like artistsort, albumartistsort, etc. -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: 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=93847 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
