Hate to pile on, but I agree sorting works perfectly as-is--you just have to understand what the tags mean and tag your music accordingly. ARTIST is the display name. If the display name doesn't look right, change this tag. There's also ALBUMARTIST which can be used to show a different artist for the album than for individual tracks, if that's relevant to you.
Because it should be safe to assume that ARTISTSORT is used only for sorting and never for display, people could conceivably have all kinds of things in their ARTISTSORT tags. Examples: 10,000 Maniacs = Ten Thousand Maniacs Maceo and the Macks = Parker, Maceo Billy Bragg and Wilco = Bragg, Billy [or Wilco, depending on your tastes] R.E.M. = REM (so that it sorts after Lou Reed instead of before) These are all decipherable if displayed, but there are probably some ARTISTSORT tags that would make things totally indecipherable too. Either way, it's not the best thing to use for display. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35822 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
