Especially when the only documentation I find for what "as intended" means http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?VariousArtistsLogic is sketchy and is incomplete. Hiding behind such a defence usually relies on a bigger fig leaf. This has been dragging on for so long now, and shows little sign of resolution. Bug 4624, for example was opened in end 2006, this is why I don't share slimkid's optimism. Perhaps what is required is a little bit more pragmatic understanding of how user actually uses the product and I little less blind standard conformance. If this does show any sign of being addressed, I'll be happy to do beta testing, you you where I am. Until then I'll live with my own hack. If anyone is interested, you can contact me, it's simple enough to replicate and appears to give a much better browsing experience with a straight forward iTunes/SC setup, listing multiple artist albums under Itunes's "Album Artist", and doesn't appear to have broken anything else, but YMMV. Thank you to those that have shown understanding. -- bullgod ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bullgod's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9916 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
