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. -- 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
