With some of the scanning and sorting oddities in SlimServer, I doubt that you can get this to work as well as you'd like. Both would just be Elvis Costello in my library. There are too many band name variations like this, particularly with jazz artists, that I wouldn't want them all to appear when browsing artists.
Your tagging choices are basically: ALBUMARTIST=Elvis Costello and the Attractions ARTIST=Elvis Costello or ALBUMARTIST=Elvis Costello ARTIST=Elvis Costello and the Attractions Since ALBUMARTIST takes precedence over ARTIST, you'll see that string listed in the by line for the album. I believe it would also be used for artist sorting when sorting albums by artist. For the by line, I suppose you'd want the album listed by 'Elvis Costello and the Attractions', but for sorting you'd probably want them grouped with 'Elvis Costello'. I would think the second choice would be preferable, but your album would appear listed 'by Elvis Costello', so all you've really gained is to add the artist '... and the Attractions' to your artist list. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43038 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
