Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
@lalittle -> I'd also say, to be blunt, looking through this thread, that you've not gathered hordes of support for your "solution" - you do seem to be the only person arguing for it.

if anybody is interested, norbusan edited this patch to support three other leading "the" in other languages. If somebody could edit the patch so that it can support ignoring two and one letter leading words, we could have it also ignore "a" and any other leading words such as "el" or "la"
Can it be made to be dependent on the selected language?
And why would someone only want to ignore articles in one language, but leave them in another, with multilingual tracks?Is "The Who" "El Who" in Spanish, or still "The Who"? Meanwhile, "Los Pericos" (first band I could find starting with Los) should still be "Los Pericos" or should the Los no longer be ignored if the UI is in English? What about the song "Los Angeles", or should that name be used in the name of a band? Clearly that wouldn't be ignored.
Again, I don't see how this solution offers any amount of real flexibility.
Can you name some benefits other than "Users don't have to fix their tags" over the more general solution?
As Llorean as made clear, a system that automagically determines which articles to drop is unlikely to be comitted to Rockbox.
It's also unlikely to ever work well enough to satisfy everyone. Sorting on special tags will work for everyone since it's pretty much infinitely customisable.
