Speak for yourself. I don't want my music appliance telling me that it is playing "Ballad of John and Yoko, The" by "Beatles, The" in the display window. When not processing it for sorting I believe that it should display the titles as the artist intended. On the other hand, when sorting it should follow the sorting convention for the language. I don't know how other languages do it, but for English that means sort it as "Beatles, The". You are just trading one problem for another. > It's a very hard issue with mixed languages, too.

Maybe this needs to be a configurable option in Rhythmbox with a configurable list of article words to ignore when sorting. I don't know how that would help people that have mixed-language music collections. Maybe this is a flaw in the standard tagging scheme. Perhaps there should be a "DISPLAY_ARTIST" and "SORT_ARTIST" or something. Although that is a messy solution too.... Sean
