ACC supports this feature for multiple genres but doesn't support this for multiple artists (yet). No one has reported this problem yet so I don't think many people use tagging this way? I'll put it on my to do list to implement in a next version. In the mean I'm afraid disabling the multiple tag feature is the only solution to this problem. elite1967;281669 Wrote: > 2.

I'll get back on this one because I need to review the code but I think this is related to the sorting option selected. Did you sort it by Genre? elite1967;281669 Wrote: > 3.

I think your right in that it is related to problem 2 because multiple genres are supported by ACC. I tested it myself with multiple i.e. 'The greatest hits' albums. Have to figure out why it does not work in your case. elite1967;281669 Wrote: > 4. sorting by Genre (image 4): I found that if the Artist is "Various > Artists" (written by myself not by SC7) the albums are not sorted > correctly by genre but are put at the end of the list in alphabetical > order. This is by design I'm afraid. First all non VA albums are processed then the VA albums. The sorting method is applied to both runs. -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://www.vanholt.nl/acc/acc.htm)- for SqueezeCenter & SlimServer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41597 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
