Yes, If I rip a CD with two works I'd want to see two pseudo-album entities while browsing and they both have the same cover. Re The Essential Sibelius: I have the same set -- in fact as you may remember it's the example I used in an earlier post to illustrate how browsing by Year as the default does not work well (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?91575-MUSO-Support-Thread&p=722072&viewfull=1#post722072). Yes, I still apply the same approach to ripping -- I have divided the set into dozens of separate "works" and each uses the same album cover. This system works well for me. It means that when I want to play, for example, Sibelius' Symphony No.4, I go to CLASSICAL -> SIBELIUS -> ORCHESTRAL and run down the alphabetical list and find all my recordings of the symphonies grouped together. Re importing track data: how would I know if Muso is importing LMS custom tags successfully? I can't find any obvious reference... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9569 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
