wait a minute snarly... the option in SC7 that says "List albums by Band" has this in the infobox: "Albums that contain songs that are tagged with a band may be listed under that band name or with the other artists for that album. The band tag is also known as TPE2 and may appear as the "album artist" in some software." now, lets be real here, when slim/logitech markets this thing to the public and uses that documentation above, they aren't expecting the public to read that and know anything, ANYTHING, about SC7s internal tags. it also would imply that TPE2 tags are enough to get SC7 to use this option properly. as i have pointed out, it only does HALF. it displays the album as by the TPE2 tag, but it does not SORT by the TPE2 tag. and it seems to be because it does not use TPE2 to populate internal ALBUMARTIST tags, only internal BAND tags. would you agree or disagree with that? also, would you agree or disagree that it SHOULD sort mp3s by TPE2 tags if the mp3 has the tag, one way or another? secondly... the option is list by "Band" not list by "Album artist." and the infobox for that option goes on to define "Band" as the TPE2 tag. so this option should really have NOTHING to do with an INTERNAL SC7 value of ALBUMARTIST anyway! agree or disagree? -- 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=45457 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
