Thanks, that makes sense.  

For now I've taken your suggestion and removed the Jr. where I didn't have entries for the father as well, and replaced ", Jr." with ". Jr." in cases where I do.  I'll never notice the period instead of a comma when looking at a list 10' away, and it's better than saying Hank Williams when I mean Hank Jr.  Or having an entry for "Jr." that lumps Hank Jr. and Nikolai Kedrov, Jr. together!

If I ever figure out how to make artist.nfo files work, I may play around with overwriting that extra period back to a comma from there.  In theory, I should be able to create a folder under my Artist Information Folder for "John Smith. Jr.", and then create an artist.nfo file in there with "<artist><name>John Smith, Jr.</name></artist>".  Shouldn't I?  My first stab didn't work, but I've never used .nfo files before so probably missed a setting somewhere.

Thanks for your help!
