Excellent - will try to get to that tonight, then.

Yes, I'd noticed that.

Personally, I like editing text files.  So being able to put a "REM
ARTISTSORT" into the cue and then having a script to fix up the flac
from the cue is the way I'd go.  For example, a while ago I added
";harp" to the genre of all my albums that I felt featured the harp, so
now they respond to that as well as folk or classical or new age or
whatever.  A powerful text editor really helps, and again for me, makes
it easier than a GUI tool would.  I can search and edit, and refine my
report (cdlist) script all in one place.
