[QUOTE="reagan+carter, post: 80544, member: 24635"] hello, I've noticed that the MP Music database was not designedto discriminate between the Album Artist and the specific Track Artists. As a result, this is quite annoying when dealing with compilation/mixed CDs, no available info is accurate enough to describe an album track. Retrieval of database entries are sometimes approximate and when using audioscrobbler, compilation album covers are either not found or erroneous. Would it be wise to redesign the music database (and add an album artist entry)? I may try to do the changes everywhere where needed in MP code but it's a lot of work. Should I ask SteveV (I think he's the one involved in this area) if it's worth the try? What do you personnally think about this? EDIT: In SVN I've noticed that most of the tracks I want to play are not submitted to last.fm e.g. 2006-10-01 15:51:36.453125 [Info.][14]: Audioscrobbler plugin: song was forwarded - ignoring Ya Don't Stop - Stakka & K-Tee (In Da' Jungle) They are "forwarded" whereas I keep them playing from start to end. Another odd event is also happening when I try to switch from the "Now Playing" screen to any other window: A black square remains on the screen, at the exact location where album covers are displayed in the "Now Playing" screen. Maybe a skin bug? see you [/QUOTE]
