What makes SP confusing is that they were credited without "The" on their albums before Mellon Collie. I guess it would be like John Mellencamp, where you just tag everything based on the latest version of the name (or whatever you prefer).

Here is my Albumlist panel[got everything in a Word.doc]

$swapprefix(%album artist%,the,a,)
|[ %date% ] - %album% $if(%PLAY_COUNTER%,$ifgreater($meta(PLAY_COUNTER), 2,/ %PLAY_COUNTER%X,
$ifequal($meta(PLAY_COUNTER),2,/ Twice,
$ifequal($meta(PLAY_COUNTER),1,/ Once,
$ifequal($meta(PLAY_COUNTER), ,NEVER)))),)
|%tracknumber% - %title% $if(%RATING%,$ifgreater($meta(RATING),4,★★★★★,$ifg reater($meta(RATING),3,★★★★,$ifgreater($meta(RATIN G),2,★★★,$ifgreater($meta(RATING),1,$rgb(250,111,0 )★★,★)))),)
