a suggestion/ idea. No articles in titles.
« on: December 09, 2007, 09:47:58 PM »
I find that my library is a lot cleaner if I take all the "The"s and "A"s out of the beginning of Artist and Album titles in the ID3 tags. I don't know if this is feasible, but it might be a popular option to make the database ignore articles at the beginning of titles. Again, if feasible.

I was also going to suggest using the slide-across inputs for the touch bar in the gigabeat. but then I realized those commands are covered pretty well. but maybe the slide (bottom to top, left to right, etc) could be useful for something some time...

The forum is not the proper place for feature requests, and the topic of removing articles has already been thoroughly discussed.

We argue about this almost monthly.

So, why is it always rejected?

Because just because people keep complaining about it doesn't make it any more "The right solution to the problem" than it was the very first time someone brought it up.

Seriously, are you incapable of reading previous discussion of it, or just too lazy? It's all covered in the previous argument.
