I have just this minute finished getting rid of the annoying AlbumArtist tag. I need to get rid of it as it over-rides the artists tag in the sort. As per my original post. I wanted both the Artist and the AlbumArtist tag to appear in an Artist sort, but unfortunately this did not happen (with the result that such luminaries as Bach, Mozart and Part failed to appear in my Artist sort).. I've now gone and put the stuff I had originally put into AlbumArtist tag into the Band, Composer, Conductor tags as appropriate. Although not relevant here, in some cases I have also added the record label into the band tag for labels that have a very distinct and recognisable output (Fax, Ultimae, Mille Plateaux, TIP.Records, Council of Nine etc). I am very much hoping that when I sort by Artist now, the list will include all entries from the following tags (as Phil indicated they will if I check the Music Library > Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists options): Artist Band/Label Composer Conductor Then I'll be a happy bunny. It'll be another 2 hours before I can be sure as I have to initiate a scan now... :-( Thanks for all you help chaps... and remember... we live, and then we die.
