[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 729038, member: 11220"] What particular workaround? Below might explain... The issue is the many to many relationship between tracks and album artists. The | characters are to separate different values so to get a list of albums for an album artist you use [code]Select distinct strAlbumName from Tracks where strAlbumArtist like '%| artist |%'[/code] so if you have say the collaboration between Linkin Park and Jay-Z the album artist field could be | Linkin Park | Jay-Z | and hence the above query for both artists will still return the album. An intersection table between Tracks and the multi-value tables would be much better database design but it would need large amount of code changes (there are about 1000 lines in MusicViewHandler.cs that would need updating [/QUOTE]
