there shouldn't be "home>whatever" local audio menus at all but thats a different story. any music server worth a damn would at the very least let you switch on the fly between A and AA, but not LMS. if it wasn't for erland, server would be a joke. emalvick;689322 Wrote: > I think the problem is that users who use AA tags are in the minority, > and perhaps moreso when it comes to compilations and/or all discs, even > those that only have one artist. Just look at how few votes are there. few votes? only ~10 bugs have more votes, and they are all really old, and some are esoteric or unlikely to ever get done. bug tracker voting is not something the avg user makes an effort to do, or frankly, is even aware of. 38 votes is a LANDSLIDE. no newer bug has more votes. and also keep in mind, lots of people affected by bug 9523, which 15604 fixes, don't even know or realize they are afflicted! emalvick;689322 Wrote: > Heck, I only have to look at my family.

Oh well. i'm not sure what you're talking about, i can't think of any devices i've used that DIDN'T support AA? i think its pretty common. my droid does, for example. most hardware, and software, will also let you switch on the fly between A and AA. what is your family using that isn't tagging/creating AA? the only thing that doesn't do it by default that i know of is itunes, but it does support AA. itunes stupidly uses comp tags instead, which it invented out of id3 spec. emalvick;689322 Wrote: > Does anything stop a person from voting multiple times for the same bug? > I'm just curious.
