Sorting compilations and "The" in artist's name

Post by poptramp » Tue Mar 03, 2009 4:11 am

TMS 4.x had the ability to treat certain folders in the music folder as compilations - ie, it would not list every artist under the artist index. For me, this is an important feature. Grouping compilations together rather than showing each artist cuts the artist list down by about 60% (to under 1000 artists). Now, how is this done in TMS 5.x? I can't seem to find any option to enable it.

Also, I'm frustrated by the inability (as far as I can tell) for TMS 5.x to ignore "The" in an artist's name. Many of the artists I like start with "The", so it can take quite some time to find them, flipping through the "T" section in the artist index. Is there any way to make TMS 5.x ignore "The", and, for example, put "The Beatles" under "Beatles, The" instead?

Thanks!
James.
