well, we can argue the semantics, but what point is there in that? i think we both agree its confusing. (a shopping list is not comparable to a music server whose job is to catalog and organize music btw) here is what i would suggest: the word list be removed. display is not a good word either, as that also could imply sort. what i think is least problematic is: 1. Denote all artists on an album and 2. Denote albums as by band this methodology is flexible, meaning a second option can then be created for sorting as a separate function. btw, the infobox currently says this: "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." i would change it to: "You can choose what artist or tag information to use to show what artist an album is by. The firts choice uses TPE1 tags, the second choice uses TPE2 tags. (TPE2 is also known as "Band" or "Album Artist" in some other software)." -- 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=46093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
