Description Philip Meyer 2005-11-13 04:50:53 UTC

I have a Various Artists album, ripped to disk in .wma format.

I have a track on this album by Alison Moyet, with an ARTISTSORT tag containing "Moyet, Alison".  However, this artist is sorted under "A" and not under "M".

Similarly, other artists on the album are incorrectly sorted when displayed in the "Browse Artists" list, except for "Billy Joel" (ARTISTSORT = "Joel, Billy"), which does appear under "J".

I believe the reason is that I have other songs by Billy Joel which are not on various artist albums, whereas for example the Alison Moyet song is the only one that I have in my music collection.

Can you attach your slimserversql.db and one or two of the wma files in question?

Thanks.
