no, i specifically said what i said on purpose. and what i said is true. SC7 has no way to sort ALL albums reasonably using only standard mp3 tags. that is fact. the main issue, (and maybe the only issue?) is with albums that have differing TPE1 fields. other programs hijack TPE2 to fix this. SC7 however, does not respect that. and i am just repeating myself beyond that. as i alluded to earlier, it make take some extra logic-programming to have SC7 decode mp3 tags to get it to figure out what should be the VA section or not, but thats the kind of thing that can be worked on as we go i think.
