The background to my thoughts is that I changed the bands beginning with 'The Something' to 'Something, The' long before I started using MC. Bands are stored in an alphabetical flat (file system) structure and there were way too many 'The's' in the 'T' part of the alphabet. Changing the bands wasn't a big job, but I never tackled the 'Various Artists' (tagging) minefield of compilation albums.
MC having an option to ignore articles when sorting is cool, but I've already set my stall out (by moving the article) and other programs may not have that clever sorting feature.
Matt the MoveArticles function will be really cool, thanks for that.
Jim, the search box on the option page is a really neat touch, but it's been hiding from me in plain sight for 2 years as I've never realised it was even there!
I'm still hoping for some 'walkthrough' videos from some MC experts where many of the MC capabilities/tricks that I'm (clearly) still missing are demonstrated in just an hour or two.
