Actually, having re-read your post you're going to make a mess of your SBS library doing it this way! Album artist isn't a good place to store guest artists.
Try tagging your files as per the attached "example" jpeg (I'm using mp3tag but you'll get the idea). Note track 7 has "Beastie Boys; Q-Tip" in the artist field, and all tracks have "Beastie Boys" as album artist. This means the album sorts under Beastie Boys, but will _also_ show up under artist="Q-Tip" if you've got albums by Q-Tip in your collection. It won't create an entry for Q-tip in your artist field if this is the only Q-Tip track you've got. To make it work you'll need to go SBS Settings > Separator for Multiple Items in Tags and enter ";" without the quotes. It'll rescan your library. Means you have to live with seeing a ; in the artist field in iTunes. Stop SBS and backup your music files and SBS dirs first; then you can easily roll-back if you need to. I've attached a screenshot of my SBS settings which means my music displays and sorts the same in both SBS and iTunes. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: iTunes_friendly_SBS_settings.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9661| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 > dBpoweramp Reference 13.4 > SqueezeCenter 7.5.0 > Squeezebox 3 / Boom > ears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77355 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
