i should note here the nature of my setup and the problem leading me to see the extreme need for this.
i use EAC and lame.exe to rip 256kbps mp3s. (all mp3s made with lame 3.96 or later). i have the lame dll also installed in EAC to give me the extra dialog screen, but afaik, i don't have EAC/lame setup to create any special tags. i do make both v1.1 and v2.3 id3 tags. i have not been able to find a program that shows me the exact names of the fields in my tags, but i assume my tags use: TPE1 for artist TPE2 for albumartist or band i do not think i have any user defined fields/tags, or any "compilation" tags. i use winamp 5.53 (set to no guessing) to handle my tag editing. in SC7, i have the settings->music library choices set to: NO checkmarks checked in the first three checkboxes, so Composer Conductor Band/Orchestra are all UNCHECKED. as far as i can tell, these checkboxes are only for including in artist lists for searching. after that, i have... Group compilation albums together and List albums by band ...both selected. here is my problem: ANY album that has agreement on the albumartist field in winamp, but has varying folks in the artist field for the same album, gets treated as a various artists album. so if ray charles is on one track with billy joel on one cd of the billy joel box set, that one cd gets put under various artists even though billy joel is the only person under albumartist. in other words, the album is NOT being sorted properly. so when i browse artwork, and i am in artist, year, album, that cd is missing from the B's and is under the V's. interestingly, the "list albums by band" option, while having no effect on sorting, DOES DISPLAY the album as by billy joel, both under the B's and V's. so this is the heart of my issue, but i think all of us would benefit from having a flowchart that would show expected behaviors. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / Jive - w/SC 7.0.1beta - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45876 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
