Have anyone succeded with this challenge? I can't be the only one facing this problem.
The idea is that artists that is only present on Compilation albums should be listed in your Artist-listings. iTunes and SBS is quite straight forward: In iTunes: Set Compilation=1(yes) and Album Artist=Various Artists In SBS: check the option to not include Compilation Artist in Artist listings The Problem is iPhone/iPod touch (since day one, all "old" ipod's works as expected): To trick iPhone/iPod you have to set a SortArtist tag to push the Compilations Artist to the bottom of your list, SortArtist=99999-%artist% This makes the iPhone to at least move these one-hit-wonders out of the way to prevent the artist list to be overly cluttered. THE PROBLEM: When having some artist appearing on both Compilation (SortArtist=9999-%artist%) and their own original albums (SortArtist=null). SBS removes the artist from the main list and sorts the artist ONLY under 9999-%artist%, however the tracks tagged with that sorting attribute were omitted from the Artist listning since they were compilations, leaving now only the original Albums here. This mean that my Artist list shows in Alphabetical order all Artists that doesn't appear on a compilation. And then in the numerical section, in alphabetical order again, all Artist that appears on a both original and compilation albums (This is NOT as expected). There are no artists that only appears on a compilation (this is as expected). Do anyone have a solution to this, another strategy perhaps? -No, I don't want to throw my iPhone away, but the idea has come to my mind... -- jasell NAS: QNAP TS-209 II pro -fw 3.1 build 0708- (2x 1TB, RAID1) Services: SC- 7.5.0-, SSOTS- 4.8- Squeezebox: 2x Duet (controller+reciever), 3x Boom, 2x SB3 Classic Other: 1x iPhone w iPeng, 1x iPod Touch w iPeng, 1x Popcorn A-110 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jasell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17817 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82618 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
