Tagcache and artists starting with 'the'

[Atle]

Hi

I'm using tagcache and it works perfectly. One question though, is there a way to make tagcache put the 'the' at the end of the artist name? Would make the listing a lot nicer. I used TDT earlier and there this was an option.

I think I remember seeing a patch to allow this, so I'm assuming it's not available as part of the standard build.

[edit]

looks like the patch only applies to browsing the filesystem, not the tag cache (well it's not mentioned).

Ok, thanks. I think I will try the patch.

A simpler solution is to use a custom tagnavi file containing these lines:

"T" -> artist ? artist ^ "T" & artist !^ "The " -> album -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title
"The..." -> artist ? artist ^ "The " -> album -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title

You can also try this one (works also in id3 mode and can be switched
on and off in the settings)
It is based on the patch mentioned above

But using a custom tagnavi is easier

EDIT: the patch in the flyspray entry is actually the same as the link above

Ok, I have configured a custom tagnavi config file and it works fine except that I would rather have e.g. The Doors sorted under D and not under The ...
I have not tried the patch stuff yet.

On a side notice... "TagCache" is now renamed to simply "Database".
