Title: Sort Composer, Sort Album, Sort Artist - will they get picked up?
Post by: AndyV on February 13, 2013, 10:10:02 am

Will J River for Mac pick up the Sort Composer, Sort Album and Sort Artist tags from iTunes music? They seem to be quite widely used.

I use Date Added and Date Modified all the time.

I hope so. They're useful for forcing the software to sort something in a way you specify.

For example, consider the band 10cc. They're listed first within an alphabetical list of bands because of the "1" -- but I want to force it to sort as if it were spelled out: "Ten cc"

In iTunes, I can use the "sort artist" field and type out "Ten cc" and it will be indexed within the bands beginning with the letter "T" instead of being indexed with numbers.
