Yes, it's Album Artist if you have entered Album Artist, but it can be based on Artist too if you haven't. I think it would be just as confusing calling it Album Artist when it's not necessarily derived from the Album Artist attribute. I don't think Titled Artist is a term used all over the product (perhaps only in the artist view's category sub-title where it says "As Titled Artist"), I really only use it in some of my explanations because I thought it helped clarify things - but obviously not! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
