you know jim, i don't understand the point of a comment like that. all i am trying to do is get something fixed, something that has NEVER worked right for me since i got my first slim stuff 3 years ago or whatever it was. on the one hand, people say "nothing should be done until something is FULLY disscussed verbosely so we all know everything about an issue" on the other hand, when i am verbose, i am either attacked or ignored or both. as someone who i have witnessed needlessly attacked for just expressing their POV, it irks me you would do it to me.

There's never been an option to sort by or > group by BAND. lets be absolutely clear here: settings -> music library -> list albums by band. you are saying that option is NOT meant to sort your music? are you saying that SC7 by default always sorts by its own internal ALBUMARTIST tag? that thats what it does and there is no other option?

(it would be the third checkbox) i would disagree that the point of those checkboxes is to fix this issue, but either way, checked or unchecked, i still have the issue. (and yes, i did clear and rescans both ways) read the info box for that option. if it was to take my TPE2 tag and use it to fill in the internal SC7 ALBUMARTIST tag, i think it would say so. here's what it says: "Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists Song information about composers, bands and orchestras can be included in the artists list for browsing and search." i don't see that as anything other than 'SC7 will make this info searchable.' do you disagree? i also don't see it as necessary since the TPE2 IS internally filling the SC7 BAND tag, and enabling the checkbox makes the scan take longer. so if you are saying the checkbox makes it so that my TPE2 tags fill in SC7s internal ALBUMARTIST tags, well, it doesn't.
