Thanks for your reply. I'm using mp3tag for exactly this purpose and I have been exploring going back to 2.3 for my tags as other products are giving me problems with 2.4. I'm trying to salvage the ArtistSort functionality. mp3tag stores PERFORMERSORTORDER as the tag 'TSOP' regardless of whether you are using ID3 v2.3 or v2.4. TSOP is officially only in v2.4. but iTunes uses it for v2.3, as well. mp3tag does this to maintain compatibility with iTunes. I have no problem with this... I like the TSOP field and it's the major reason I was going with v2.4. I wish others would take this interim step while the world struggles with accepting the new standard. For the record, the "correct" way should be for ID3 v2.3 to be stored as 'TXXX' 'PERFORMERSORTORDER'. My question is more focused on how SqueezeServer parses the tags. If my tags are ID3 v2.3, will the scanner ignore 'TSOP' and only look for 'TXXX' 'ARTISTSORT'? Does anyone know? Thanks, David -- studley The Guide is definitive. Reality is often inaccurate.
