As of LMS 7.7.1, this bug is still not fixed. In my case, I have FLAC files with tags like the following:
ALBUM: Favorite Chopin ALBUMARTIST: Frédéric Chopin;Vladimir Ashkenazy ALBUMARTISTSORT: Chopin, Frédéric;Ashkenazy, Vladimir ALLPICTURES: [ HASH(0x90177dc) ] ARTIST: Frédéric Chopin;Vladimir Ashkenazy ARTISTSORT: Chopin, Frédéric;Ashkenazy, Vladimir COMPOSER: Frédéric Chopin COMPOSERSORT: Chopin, Frédéric DATE: 1983 GENRE: Classical - Romantic;Classical ORGANIZATION: Decca TITLE: Ballade No. 3 in A Flat Major, Op.47 TRACKNUMBER: 1 VENDOR: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917 It's my understanding that the ALBUMARTISTSORT and COMPOSERSORT tags are ignored by LMS, but I've filled them anyway -- one can always hope that in the future they will be. :-) The semicolon is set to be used as a separator character by LMS. In most cases, this kind of tagging produces what I want. For example, Vladimir Ashkenazy's name appears as "Vladimir Ashkenazy" but is alphabetized under A. But Chopin is alphabetized under F. The conditions that generate this error are complex. What is required: (1) Non-ASCII characters in the name. (2) Besides the ARTIST tag, the name also appears in either the COMPOSER or CONDUCTOR tags. (I've heard that BAND will do it too, but I don't use BAND. I have not seen anyone else report that the CONDUCTOR tag will produce the behavior.) I have seen suggestions that the wrongly sorted artists have to appear on Compilation albums, but I can't confirm this. When I convert all albums for an artist to noncompilation albums, the problem is not removed. The conditions above are necessary to produce the problem, but they aren't sufficient: I have cases where the conditions are satisfied but the artist is sorted correctly. So there must be more to it, but I haven't been able to figure out what. -- dpotts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dpotts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90661
