A few just off of the top of my head:
- So that "track-only" artists can be suppressed from the artist list when browsing artists. - To determine formatting and presentation in web and other interfaces. A compilation album is most often by "Various Artists". Otherwise you're left to choose one (which is wrong) or all of them (we've seen that before, and it's very ugly). - Grouping. Having a pseudo-artist of "Various Artists" means that users can easily find these albums under that artist. If any/all/none of the above work as you expect in SqueezeCenter then it's an implementation issue, not a conceptual one. Go to a music store and you'll undoubtedly see (probably by genre) a bin with compilation albums that can't be grouped under a particular artist. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48591 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
