Anyone?
Yes, it's a bug. Any time a field containing a 'contributor' (artist, albumartist, composer, conductor, etc.) name is read it should never override an explicitly set sort string for that name. So using ALBUMARTIST fields with the same info as the ARTIST (with ARTISTORT) _should_ be safe. Like I said above, this might be specific to multitrack Flacs. -- 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
