Thanks for the reply Slimchances; it seems we have both set up libraries but neither of us are quite sure what all the parameters mean. This of course means that I am a little concerned that everything is OK.
I have been staggering, or perhaps blundering on, and have, probably, set up Custom Scan to return ALBUMARTIST, COMPOSER and CONDUCTOR (I am using FLAC files only). Then I have set up some menus with Custom Browse so that I can view the following: Composer --> Genre --> Album --> Album Artist. All of my classical files are tagged with the Album as the Work (e.g. Piano Concerto No 5), and Album Artist as the basic description of all the main protagonists (e.g. Barenboim - Klemperer - New Philharmonia Orch.). I did this by setting up a menu that I called 'Classical by Composer' which should have four levels. That is: on the 'menu parameters' panel I have defined 'Level 1 Tag Name' as COMPOSER, 'Level 2 Tag Name' as GENRE, 'Level 3 Tag Name' as ALBUM, and lastly 'Level 4 Tag Name' as ALBUMARTIST. This does roughly work, allowing me to step down through the layers as defined in paragraph 2, above, and this is a great improvement on my earlier efforts (I have removed some scans amongst other things). However, I have a problem that does not seem easy to fix: I have duplicate entries in the 1st and 4th layers. That is to say: each composers name is repeated and also works to direct me to a lower level, and the performers (i.e. Album Artists) names are also repeated although each does give the correct track list (i.e. song titles); Genre and Album seem to work OK except for one other issue which can wait for now. Does anyone know what is happening here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arthurb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56956 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102563 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
