guys...

first, i've been away.  i got married.  but now i would like to revisit
these issues.

so i am sorry i started these threads / topics and disappeared, but the
wife, well, she wouldn't like me posting during "our time."  ;)

in any case...

i think we have gotten somewhat off track here.

the original point of me posting this thread was to address whether the
VA logic SC uses is actually a necessity.

i think its obvious it is not necessary.  most people seem to use tags
of some kind or another to get things sorted and classified the way
they want them to be.

now that isn't to say some people don't use the VA logic.  some do, and
it works perfectly or near perfectly for them, (and they use it in a way
that may or may not be how it was intended, but regardless, they like
it).  some even don't mind having to make tags that "undo" what the VA
logic does incorrectly on a portion of their music.

so, getting back to the whole point of this thread:

I PROPOSE SC ADDS AN OPTION THAT ALLOWS USERS TO DISABLE OR TURN OFF
THE VA LOGIC DETECTION

i am adding the bug report here:

http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8324

even if you think VA detection logic necessary, i don't think you can
argue against such an option.  for many of us, it is in fact, not
necessary, it leads to albums being classified as comps and put in the
wrong place, and most importantly to the strength of the request, it
adds unnecessary scanning time to library scans.

consider:

many people would have their libraries totally correctly sorted and
labelled via their tags alone!  the VA logic makes a scan take longer
for no reason, its totally superfluous.

others, like me, suffer at the hands of the VA logic.  but we can't
turn it off.

surely an "on / off" option where VA logic is concerned is then
justified?  if only for the purposes of decreasing scan times? 
(although i would argue, it would help people like me as well).

thx.
