once you have opened the db, click on the "browse data" tab at the top.
Then select "tracks" from the pulldown list for Table.
At the far right, last column, you will find "multialbumsortkey". This
is the info that is used for sorting when you are browsing with the
group albums pref to keep multi-albums together as one. Otherwise,
sorting is strictly by track number. Using Browse Music Folder, all
sorting is alphabetical.

Thank you KDF!
Will try that one when I have some time again!

cool. If you get around to screenshots at any point, please post
those. I don't really see the issues you have described, but I also
might be working at higher resolution. Although, I'm not sure offhand
what I can do with those icons. They are made up of so few pixels
already.

KDF,
this is going to seem like I've been making this up (or am just plain crazy) but I downloaded the screen grab software you suggested and went to see the differences in your web skin between 5.3.1 and 6.2.2 and (ah hem) they were both the same again!!
I don't think I was on any psychotropic drugs at the time I noticed this, but it certainly isn't there now! Don't know what "cured" the problem...
I do see the slight difference in spacing that you talk about in an earlier post - but this is not dramatic.

Still trying to sort out my bizzare track name thing though. (haven't got round to looking in the db yet!)

Thanks

Nic

cool! If you do find out it was the drugs, tho, please share. I could
use a few.

well, there was a big shift in the way the sizing is now done. I could
come to believe that it was some old cached sizing mixing with the new
that gave bizarre results. If the images were enlarged somehow, then
the gap would seem scrunched. Previous spacing was either 2 or 3
pixels (I haven't looked it up) and now it is one (between cells). Old
style was as consistent, and now that it is cleaned up, I don't think
that going back to a spacing of 2 would be so bad.

You always have the option of filling out a bug report and attaching
your db to it. There are always other people who can look it over and
fix it. I'm certainly not trying to discourage that. I do, however,
find it quicker and more rewarding to find things myself. Or at least
to understand the source of the problem, if I can't actually fix it.
It is your choice whether a lok into that side of slimserver is worth
it to you. The important thing is to not lose the details of the
problem so that, one way or another, it can be fixed.
