[opensuse] Amarok and Various Artists
You remember the thread I started about Amarok listing some people under various artists. One of the people here mentioned clicking on "Do not show under various artists". Well, that option wasn't there...when my collection was grouped under artist. I group under album, and that option shows up! Weird, wot? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, amarok has some funky options. I find that the "Various Artists" thing is more a wake-up call that your IDv2 or IDv3 tags are out of line. IOTW, go about and fix each one as you listen to the song. Makes for great fun at work while idling the hours away. :) -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The funny thing though, is that as soon as I clicked do not group under various artists and went back to grouping by artists, I didn't have any "Various Artists". And I checked each and every one of those files. Tags seemed fine to me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

LOL, I never just sort by artist- that is why I haven't noticed that. I think the ommission of the menu items when sorting just by artist is a bug and should be reported. IMHO, "various artists" should never be used when sorting just by artists. As an aside, you do realize that you can do multi-level sort. I personally prefer Artist then Album (I think Genre->Artist->Album is a bit over kill ;-) ). -- die_if_kernel("Kernel gets FloatingPenguinUnit disabled trap", regs); linux-2.2.16/arch/sparc/kernel/traps.c
