Hi everyone, I have been on another planet for the past 6 months but am now catching up on all the posts, as well as updating my system to the latest versions.About the composer name issue in cue sheets, there is a tag specifically for this in the specs called SONGWRITER. Me and my friend have been working on this issue and are transferring huge collections of music to hard disc, I've got now over 1000 CDs with the same number of cue sheets to edit and this is a big issue, not to mention managing the GENRE tags as well.
It would be nice if there was a way to support this eventually in cMP and cPlay to make it a little easier to navigate a big collection of music.
I've included a part of one of our cue sheets as an example below as well as the cue sheet standard description for that tag.

Parameters:songwriter-string - Name of songwriter. If the string contains any spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks. Strings should be limited to 80 character or less.
Example:SONGWRITER "Paul McCartney"
Rules:If the SONGWRITER command appears before any TRACK commands, then the string will be encoded as the songwriter of the entire disc. If the command appears after a TRACK command, then the string will be encoded as the songwriter of the current track. Note: If your recorder does not support CD-TEXT, then this command will be ignored.

I don't know if you are aware of the interim solution I have been using which is to list composers from the flac files' Composer tag as genre in the case of classical files. Al Jordan has included an option for this in his Recursive Cuesheet Creator. This accomplishes much though not all of what you are after. Under genre display, if one selects a given composer then his works are listed by performer-title.
If you want to use Songwriter in the cuesheets, you have to have a way of entering composer data from the music files into this and then a way of displaying Songwriter as you have described or some other way.
Next cMP release (much later) will look into this.
I have a few suggestions on how to implement it in cMP2.1. Have an ini setting to turn it on or off, Songwriter=True.
2. If it's on, you could have 4 buttons along the bottom for searching:
IF Songwriter=.F.
- Show buttons as they are now.ELSE Songwriter=.T.
- IF button = GENRE --> After selecting a GENRE offers a list by
- - SONGWRITER, after selecting a SONGWRITER, offers a list by TITLE,
- - then offers a list by PERFORMER.- ELSE IF button = TITLE --> After selecting a TITLE, offers a list by
- - SONGWRITER, after selecting a SONGWRITER, then offers a list by
- - PERFORMER.- ELSE IF button = SONGWRITER --> After selecting a SONGWRITER, offers a
- - list by TITLE, after selecting a TITLE, offers a list by PERFORMER.- ELSE IF button = PERFORMER --> After selecting a PERFORMER, offers a
- - list by SONGWRITER, after selecting a SONGWRITER, offers a list by
- - TITLE.
- ENDIF
ENDIFBTW I love the fact that with a keyboard one can type the first few letters of a search and cMP goes directly to the first entry that starts with those letters. It makes things a little easier when navigating though a collection of 1000 titles!
