i need to see what happens when i set a comp tag (re: where it then sorts). but that issue aside, i basically agree with what you just said, i would personally do it that way probably. BUT you and i are not the only users. what about people who do NOT want to set an album artist for an album like duets, and who don't want it called a comp, (b/c it isn't). they might have track: 1. Frank Sinatra / Bono 2. Frank Sinatra / Willie Nelson and so on... and they simply don't want to suppress those results from the artist list. iow's, someone might not want duets to appear as if its by a single artist. and i am not anticipating other scenarios, but i'm sure you can see there probably are other scenarios even if we can't see them, and other personal preferences that we might not share, right? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 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
