[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 289265, member: 11220"] Indeed. I am still quite amazed that there is not a widely used sortby field in the ID3 spec. Adding the composer field for me is not so much about the actual composer field but more having a further field which I don't use for anything else. I don't have much classical music so I tend to have the following Artist Phil Collins Album Artist Phil Collins Composer Collins, Phil I started off by using Tag & Rename to copy across the Album artist field to the composer field. I have then over time fixed things like this. (most album artist tags tend to be the ones I want to sort by anyway and it is only individual's names or bands starting with The which cause and issue (although MP sorts out The)) I just then create a view with something like Selection Operator ViewAs SortBy Composer Group Big Icons Composer Album Artist Icons Composer Album Filmstrip Date [/QUOTE]
