Thank you, Lowlander, but that only helps me a bit.
Yes, I notice that when separating two artists in the Artist fields with a semicolon (;) then the song is listed in the Artist tree twice: one folder under each of the artist's names. So, if the Artist is designated "Bing Crosby; Louis Armstrong" that song will be listed in the Artist tree twice, once under each name. In other words, the two artists are TREATED EQUALLY.
But what if I want to name both artists but show an artist folder for only one of the two people (perhaps because the second artist is of minor importance). For example, where Bing Crosby is the primary artist but Sam Smith also appears, I would like to list Sam Smith as the other artist, BUT I DO NOT WANT A SEPARATE TREE FOLDER DEDICATD TO HIM.
Is there another operand (other than the semicolon (;), of course that will accomplish this? For example, what is the effect of using a comma (,) between the two artist names. How about when one uses "and", such as "Bing Crosby and Sam Smith" under the Artist cell?
Is any of this further explained in the online HELP database
Thank you,
Howard
