Every track has an artist and an album, and every album has an artist, therefore every track is linked to two artists. So in the ui_branch, when you click on an artist in the artist list, the page shows all tracks on albums that have that artist as the album artist, followed by all tracks that have that artist as the track artist but not the album artist. So for me if I click on "Compilations" in the artist list, I get to see all my compilation disks. If I click on an artist such as "Queen" I get to all the Queen albums, followed by all Queen tracks that are on compilation disks. The problem (as you point out) is that there is no simple way to detect these disks. What I did was in the 'admin' pages if you click on an album, it shows something like "18 albums with the same title. Merge them?". It's not brilliant maybe you can suggest something better. It also screws up on disk names containing ' because my SQL code doesn't escape it. > I actually have a few dupe album names, which hasn't got the same tracks on > them...

Ideally the track "Walk This Way", should show up under "Aerosmith", "Run DMC" and "Compilations" Rob -- 01010010 01101111 01100010 01100101 01110010 01110100 01001000 01100001 01110010 01110100 _______________________________________________ Obs-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/obs-dev
