There is one setting on the Touch at Settings > Advanced > Album Sort Method, but apparently this only affects the sort order of albums when browsing albums. It's set by default to Artist, Year, Album. Like I said, this is a very old issue around here. The following bug report was created 29-Dec-*2003*: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=112 Mass tagging of your albums like that with a good tag editor is actually pretty easy once you're familiar with the editor. A lot of people here use 'Mp3tag' (http://mp3tag.de/en/), which is quite powerful. You could load up your whole library and run an Mp3tag action on all files to add the tag. Just be careful with compilation albums, where the artist isn't the same on every track. You'd want the ARTIST in 'ARTIST - DATE - ALBUM' to be the same for every track on a given album. Use 'Various Artists' for your compilation albums to have them show up sorted in the usual place when browsing albums, or use some other string and you can force them either to the top or bottom of the album list. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82905 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
