The only way I know of to exclude artists is to set the "Group Compilation Artists together" and set COMPILATION=1. At the moment I seem to have only two options:
1. (COMPILATION=1) Larry isn't in the artist list, neither are any of the track artists 2. (COMPILATION=0) Larry *is* in the artist list, but so are all of the track artists what I want is 3. Larry is in the artist list, the track artists are not. I'm not at all precious about what is or is not a "compilation", I just want to achieve #3. Note that were there just one other album by Larry Levan, I would actually get the desired #3 by setting COMPILATION=1. Maybe all of this would be solved by addressing http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5108 -- 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
