No. I tested it by doing a fresh install of 6.5.4 in a virtual machine, and letting it scan from scratch. The result was the same as my main installation. What I have done since is to add a new tag to all my tracks called 'Writer' and copy the contents of the composer tag to the writer tag, and then delete all of the composer tag information. This solved my multiple artists problem. However, I was still left with a few other issues. One being the Beach Boys Greatest Hits problem I mentioned. Slimserver managed to mix it up with another Greatest Hits album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (other albums titled Greatest Hits weren't affected). All the tracks (except one) from both albums were referenced as being one compilation album under various artists, but were also listed under the two artists. There was a separate Greatest Hits album for the Red Hot Chili Peppers that only had the first track associated with it (yes, all the tags on the other tracks were identical and correct as I checked closely in MP3Tag). Changing the compilation field in the database to NULL made the albums appear under each artist as "Greatest Hits by 'Beach Boys, The' 'Red Hot Chili Peppers'". I ended up having to go through the database tables changing various fields and references to separate the albums into two entities. As someone who works with databases on a daily basis, I'm able to do that, but I consider it a serious failure for a consumer-level product. I wish I could remember every step I had to take as I'm sure to need to do it again next time I have to do a full scan. I also still have the problem of being unable to make Slimserver see multi-CD albums as being a single album, but I think I'll just have to live with that for now. -- DoomWolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DoomWolf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37135 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
