I have been using iTunes, Foobar and MusikCube on a daily basis for some time and see NO evidence that they work on this assumption. Each of these players displays a list of tracks in rows with tag values in columns. I select tracks and perform some operation on them. It works fine when the other tags are noit the same for all the tracks with the same album value. > I for one really don't want differently tagged music for > different players (and I really do use several).

There are double concerti, and violin sonatas usually involve a piano player too. And operas and choral works will have more than one singer. I was referring to a practical need. -- Listener ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Listener's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2508 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18767 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
