Get a good tagging program that lets you view all the tags in a file. I use Mp3tag on Windows (runs on a Windows PC, but won't matter if your files are stored on a Linux system). Maybe easier than reexamining the ARTISTSORT tag on all of the files would be to just load up all of the files from an artist and retag them.
Something that may point to another problem - Supposedly, if you had tagged just _one_ of the artist's tracks with an 'ARTISTSORT=lastname, firstname' tag, then that sort string should stick. Files without an ARTISTORT tag shouldn't revert the sort order set in that one tag. You may have mistakenly tagged one (or more) with the original artist name (ARTISTSORT=ARTIST). Also, don't use ARTISTSORT when you have more than one ARTIST tag in a file - SlimServer may apply it to the wrong one. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30321 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
