i think we've gotten off track here... YES, it IS worthwhile for SC7 to know what is, and what is not a compilation. i think everyone agrees with that.
NO, it IS NOT working to use the "Various Artists Logic" to do so. THE PROBLEM IS THE VA LOGIC DOES NOT IDENTIFY VA ALBUMS. ALL IT DOES IS IDENTIFY ALBUMS THAT HAPPEN TO HAVE DIS-AGREEMENT ON THEIR ARTIST TAGS. ...but only some of those are actually VA albums. i have tons of albums that are misidentified, probably almost as many as those that truly are VA albums. this means if even one track has disagreement, its called VA. that methodology for determining a VA album is broken and useless. (i'm not sure of what, if any, other method it uses) given the above as fact, would it not be better to scrap the VA logic altogether and replace it with a different system? if not, why not? would it not be better for the user to either: 1. set an explicit comp tag, (with no tag meaning its isn't a comp) or 2. be able to set the terms in ones own tags that SC7 would know indicated a compilation so it could annotate it as such upon scanning? (such as having "Various Artists" in your tags) i have yet to hear how the VA logic is useful, given that it is so unreliable to be correct, and so often demands users add a tag to override it. i don't think the point of SC7 is to force users into tagging to overcome its "logic." -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.0.1beta - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
