The basic Search (the non-Advanced Search) searches for the string that you enter in 1. Artist names 2. Album titles 3. Track titles It really is a "basic" search. All it's doing is string matching within those items, then listing the items matched. It won't find the composer and then list all the albums or tracks by that composer. If you search for 'vivaldi' then it will list only albums and tracks that have the string 'vivaldi' in the title. But if you find Vivaldi (and listed in the search under Artists), clicking on the name should list all of the albums credited to the composer, so albums are just one additional click away. (Note that for the basic Search to find composers, you'll also need to have 'Composer' checked off under Server Settings > Behavior > COMPOSER, BAND AND ORCHESTRA IN ARTISTS.) BTW, in looking at this I notice that my library has just one album tagged with a composer. It's "The Jerome Kern Songbook", with Jerome Kern as composer on all tracks. If I search for 'kern', then Jerome Kern is found, and if I click the name, the album is shown. But I notice that under Browse Artists, Jerome Kern is nowhere to be found. If you have the server setting mentioned above checked off, are your classical composers listed along with the artists on your system? -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31294 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
