that's weird... i use tag&rename for my tagging (it actually even calls the band tag album artist...) and itunes is definitely storing the album artist under band... maybe it stores it elsewhere in the db too and doesn't look at the file after import....ah well... for me i just have multiple artists using the ";" seperator which works well for wmp and slimserver... but itunes is a bit of a mess... i end up browsing by album... -- gb115b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gb115b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1781 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30953 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
