[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 729057, member: 11220"] Me too... for album artist, if it is a compilation I set this to "Various Artists". I sometimes do use multiple artists sometimes but normally can't be bothered... [quorte]Regarding the amount of work it was what i have suspected cause this also explains why it's so complex to expand the the filter options(like we've already discussed in the music section thread)[/QUOTE] Some filters have been updated a bit so some things that did not work before will do now but there is not a massive change here. Even if the database has a nicer structure (this would have to be similar to MediaMonkey [url]http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/images/MM3DBStructure.PNG[/url]) then this can actualy make querying the data more complicated. eg. say you want a list of albums for a particular genre with all artists beginning with A you actually have to join together six tables and when you combine this the dynamic view stuff it can get pretty messy and confusing.
