So you can sort albums by year but it will use either the year of the first track (or possibly the last) scanned. So how can you sort albums by genre? There is a similar problem with multiple artists but these get sorted as "Various Artists". This is in itself not that sensible since they are normally displayed as "artist1; artist2". I think I have already decided not to follow this model and to only allow sorting by album artist. What happens if you select the "All Tracks" item rather than a particular album - how are the tracks sorted then? Are they always sorted by album (by what? album title?) then track number? -- shawkie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shawkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
