Just > search-replace ARTISTSORT by ALBUMARTISTSORT ? It' not a but at all. SS doesn't use the ARTISTSORT field from the same file. Here is how it goes (again): -SS scans your audio files -SS encounters a track with ALBUMARTIST="first last" -SS inserts a row for "first last" into the contributor table in the database. -SS scans some more files... -SS encounters a track with ARTIST="first last" and ARTISTSORT="last, first", looks up "first last" in the database and finds an entry in the contributor table. The sort field in the "first last" entry ins't populated so it adds "last, first" to the sort field of the "first last" entry. -SS finishes the scan ... -You request the artist list from the player or web interface -SS looks up all relevant entries in the contributor table -SS finds the entry "first last" and applies the sort order found in the sort field. -SS displays the list
Ok, this may not be technically correct, but you get the picture. Btw, there is already an enhancement request to add support for ALBUMARTISTSORT to SS: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4584 -s. -- slimpy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40294 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
