Ignore 'The' at the start of artist names.
Posted: 31 Jan 2012, 17:34
I've come across this in one or two media players and it's a very useful feature.
In long collections or playlists, it would be great if the program ignored 'The' at the beginning of the artist names.
Here's an example:
In my playlist I have both 'Beatles' and 'The Beatles', and they are sorted differently - 'Beatles' are amongst the artists beginning with 'B', but 'The Beatles' are with the artists starting with 'T'.
I know I could just go through my collection and change the tags, but with a huge collection of over 20,000 songs, this will be a long job!
Some programs I know do ingnore the 'The' at the start of the names, putting 'Beatles' and 'The Beatles' together. A great idea in my opinion.
ps. I know I can use the search box, and do regularly, but also I like to scroll through the list using the browse function on my MIDI controller. That is where this feature would be most useful.
