This takes a little bit of playing with the tags, but eventually gets you where you want to be. You might want to try combining with COMPILATION tag. It will force the album not to be compilation even if there are multiple authors, so It won't be listed under various artists but under band/album artist. Thing I'd like to see is feature to enable listing by Band/Albumartist for compilation albums only. The way it works right now, at least for me, is that it lists everything that way if album artist tag is populated, so if you want to have 'Baroque Favorites by Sorr' you also have to accept 'Symphony No. 5 by Herbert von Karajan'. While in the first case Sorr plays compositions of various baroque composers, so it makes sense for him to be listed as an album artist, the whole Fifth is written by Beethoven, and, while Karajan is album artist for that album, I'd like to see it listed 'by Beethoven'. This example also gives an interesting posibility, Baroque Favorites usually include Bach, Handel and a few less known composers that I don't want in my regular artist listing. So, I blank out artist tag for those composers (move them into comment), force album not to be a compilation, effectively making it listed under Bach and Handle. Makes sense sometimes since I don't like going into Various Artists to search for the music I have forgotten about. -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35854 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
