    Long time not seen you around ;). Can you comment on the issue of "The", i.e. when MP sorting is done when ignoring articles and prepositions?
    I don't really have any time for MP any more (and I don't actually have a working MP setup at the minute :eek:)

    The "The" thing will be a bug (well actually something I never found time to implement properly).
    @Sebastiii if you want to fix then you will see in GUIMusicBaseWindow.cs line 1473 you have
    Code:
            if (_strippedPrefixes)
            {
              //Fix ME
              //artist = AudioscrobblerBase.UndoArtistPrefix(song.Artist);
            }
    (there are three occurrences of this)

    This was code in the old Audioscrobbler plugin that was not copied across. this should probably be in one of the util classes (and there is probably a lot cleaner way of doing it than the original code)

    I just take the code on my own build for now to see how it does but i keep the code like is :)
    Thanks m8.

    Hi Sebastiii,

    Great that you are taking over from jameson_UK!

    I did test a couple of things in reference to the "The" issue. Indeed it appears to be mostly onle the "The" that is causing issues since other combined Artist names were found automatically. Note though that German singers "Die Ärzte" isn't found either althoug it is called exactly like that in allmusic.com.

    Thx,
    HTPC_Sourcer
