Please. The sentence contained the something very close to the phrase: "Yes, this is a personal attack." That's a direct violation of our forum guidelines, and deliberately baiting the moderators here. Removing that bit was really a very, very light bit of moderating. > 1. are you saying that "List albums by Band" is NOT meant to sort? > > (i gather you are, but i think that means at the very least "List" is a > poor word choice there for that option, as it sounds a lot more like > SORT than 'show albums as by...') No, that's not what I'm saying. I was simply summarizing what I understood the behavior to be. I don't use Band (because I find it broken in some apps and unneeded in the apps I do use), so I don't really have any opinion as to how it should behave. > 2. should SC7 not be able to sort via the data from a mp3s TPE2 tag? > > if not, why not? why can't that be an "on" or "off" option? > (likewise, why can't such an option be added if need be?) > > (it could simply use SC7s internal BAND tag, which is populated via > TPE2) As our programmers like to say "Contributions welcome." Tagging is a mess... not just for us, but for any music manager. How tags are used is a very personal thing, and one man's pleasure is another man's pain. I suggest that you open an enhancment request at bugzilla.slimdevices.com and put your proposal in there. > 3. if no other data is in the mp3, why can't the TPE2 data populate both > the internal BAND and ALBUMARTIST SC7 tags? See above. > 4. just how am i supposed to get my albums to sort properly tagged as > is? (in other words, not needing a MB workaround to get them to do so) "Properly tagged" is in the eye of the beholder. I consider my files properly tagged and TPE2 is used only sporadically. Stuff sorts fine for me, so a change in behavior isn't needed as far as I am concerned. That doens't mean how SC handles tags works for everyone, but tags aren't handled consistently in any application. You have a problem with the way SC handles the particular way you tag your files. You want a different behavior and I've proposed a way for you to get this request to our engineering team. During our regular bug scrubs, we'll take a look at the request and the suggested implementation and try to determine if/how/when it will be done. > 5. what is the point of giving us the option to "List albums by band" if > they are going to be sorted out of place? is that not stupid? > > what i am asking for is for slim to acknowledge the reality of many > users mp3 tags and circumstances. i am hardly an anomaly. > > is slim just going to let this persist as is? in other words, does > slim acknowledge there is a problem here, and that it needs fixed? Please reveiw premise #3 above. I don't disagree that you find yourself in the latter set, but not everyone considers it to be "broken". I suggest that you use the tools at hand--bugzilla.slimdevices.com and these forums--to provide constructive feedback and suggestions as to what you would like to see so that when we are working on the scanner/tag handling, the engineers can understand both the problem and the various solutions proposed. Even better, you might want to see if one or more of the folks in the developer forum would be willing to work on coding your suggestions as a replacement scanner, as a plug-in or even as core functionality for a future release. -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
