Yes, the iPod app was a quick-and-dirty job from apple, even there are numerous threads about thisin Aplle forum (many years old) they have still not fixed it. They created cover flow and then they where happy. The best workaround is to use the SortArtist-tag, which unfortunatly seems to be hard to combine with SBS.
You are correct about tags and iTunes, I use a combination of Foobar and MP3tag set all my tags and ensure they are written only once acording one standard. I have a function in MP3tag that do the tagging for Various Artist and Compilations. When I created my MP3taging scripts my findings was that the Various Artist information was required by iTunes to work correct, if SBS doesn't consider it and iPhone doesn't either we can rule it out anyway. The SortAlbum info was just for information... -- 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
