[QUOTE="User121314, post: 785531, member: 16824"] Option 1. To extrapolate further - why is it most metadata stores the artist as "surname" then "first name"? It's stupid - when last did anyone say to themselves or anyone else: "hmmm, I feel like listening to Mitchell, Joni today"? Or "why not listen to Ian, Janis this evening"? Even better, lets listen to Beck, Jeff, or what about some hart, Beth. Can anyone explain why this is so? I manually change my metadata to be first name then surname. My only exception to this is Classical, where the majority of the composers are known by surname. In these instances I leave it as surname, then name(s). But classical is a mission with metadata in any case - composer, conductor, lead artists or soloists/performers plus orchestra. Especially when one has multiple renditions of the same piece. [/QUOTE]
