Multiple Sorting Artist?

Postby mattdisaster on Tue Jan 13, 2004 8:07 pm

Hey everyone-
Does anyone know of a way to make a certain album show up under 2 different letter selections? I'de like to get it so when I hit "L" it will show the Los Crudos / Spitboy Split 7", as well as when you hit "S" show the same record. It'll help eliminate the instances when people are like "oh bring the Los crudos / spitboy split up!" and it doesnt show up cause they hit the "s" instead of the "l". Get what I'm saying? Thanks alot in advance!

I'm sure you've thought of this but if it's just a few albums I'd copy the directory and change the tags/database in the second directory to begin with the alternate letter.

Normally I'de do that, but I'm affraid it isnt just a few,its more liek 100 or so, and that number changes all the time. Since I'm always adding new split records and such. Any other ideas?

Steven-
I'm not sure what would go into it, but what if you made it in the msuic entry, under artist, each new line (hitting enter) could be the artist? Get what I'm saying? Is that a possibility? Example:

Code: Select all
artist:
Broken
React
The Pist
Gob

what if I allowed you to "duplicate" an entire album entry...then you could just change the artist name to the other letter you want it to show up under....but the thing is...you will a bunch of doubles of the same album in your collection.

Hrrmmmm........ That's tough. I guess I'll figure something out, like I said I've got alot, so that would add a pretty huge amount of albums. Thanks though for all the ideas everyone.
