I'm not sure that it over-rides artistsort tags. I know I had one problem with sorting that I think the artistsort affected the AlbumArtist sorting. I do use the AlbumArtist for everything and I believe that before I had gone through and filled by artistsort tags the artists with First Last would sort by the First name while album artists, which I always do Last, First would sort by Last. Then again, I am actually only basing this on using CUSTOMBROWSE to seperate song artists from albumartists, and perhaps the default behavior of the server is different. The logic and connections between all these artists fields gets a bit overwhelming as I know my current methods are due to a lot of the problems I see in these threads that I had and the performance I wanted that required what I know to be too much or redundant information in my tags (like Artist=ArtistSort=AlbumArtist or Compilation=0 or DiscNumber=1 for all 1 disc sets). It's ridiculous, but it seems to be what I needed to get my own library to work for 2 players (Squeezebox and Zune). -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91571 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
