I would also like to reiterate a comment I made early on in the closed thread (before it became mp3 focused), which is related to http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5108

A partial workaround (courtesy of JJ I seem to recall) to get the Larry Levan album into the artists list is to set COMPILATION=0, but then all the other track artists from the album show up too. I voted for the bug 5108 (linked above) as a way to fix this, but to my mind, it would make sense for Larry Levan to appear under artists even with COMPILATION=1 just as Fatboy Slim does. -- smc2911 http://www.last.fm/user/smc2911/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
