Thanks for the clarifications. As for your errors and lack of errors, this is why I think we recommend creating a library that only involves the folder in question (leaving all your previous music out of the equation). If errors do not occur, then it is probably another file. The problem with LMS is that if ANY file has a sort, Album Artist, etc. tag that is off, it can affect other similar files. This is even the case when the other files are correct. As an example, I had a file by Pearl Jam that was on a soundtrack. Somewhere along the line it got tagged with an ArtistSort tag reflecting of my "Various Artists" album artist... i.e. the file ended up with ARTISTSORT=Various ARtists. The result was that all my Pearl Jam files were sorted under Various Artists even though it was only one file that had gotten tagged that way. Unfortunately, this error occurred at an odd timing (after I received their last album), and I searched for weeks in the folder where the new album was ripped for some bad tag only to find it was one file in a completely different folder causing my errors. Keep us up to date on your progress. -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93847 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
