Check out the MP3Tag actions, they offer an amazingly powerful way of automating this kind of thing. You could easily define an action to set the ArtistSort automatically based on the reversed Artist tag. This would take a bit of fiddling to deal with more (or less) than two names, but should be doable. Alternatively, to make the action easier to set up, use the filter (which allows regular expressions, I think) first to find all your tracks with artists that have exactly two names, and apply the appropriate action to them, then repeat for three, etc. Cheers Geoff _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
