right agreed.  i just wanted to know where it was in the UI, meaning i
wanted to confirm its the "List albums by band" option you were talking
about, and it is.  thx for the clarity.

thats what the SC7 infobox insists, and in fact while i agree it isn't
always TPE2 that fills this SC7 BAND field, it is in my case.  and my
case is not some rare anomaly.

agreed.

again, i understand that.  but i didn't write the current infobox, slim
did, so your complaint is with slim.  i just tried to be minimal in my
changes, just doing what was absolutely necessary.

i know that my proposed wording is similar but i think most people
would figure it out fine, and the wording is all i would change, not
the functionality, so in practice, its transparent to you.

the fact is TPE2 does populate the SC7 BAND field if nothing else is
available.  but if something else is available, SC7 will use that.  and
i allude to that in my proposed wording when i say 'Band in some other
software' (paraphrased).

feel free to offer up how you would word it exactly.  i'm sure my
wording isn't the best, i just know its better than what is currently
existing.
