True, and that's exactly what I'll do as a stop gap for the time being.
But since FB2K is so incredibly persnickety when it comes to cuesheet
compliance, I'm using FB2K's interpretation as the gold-standard for
cuesheet parsing. If FB2K says that a VA cuesheet has an ALBUMARTIST
just by interpreting the 1st PERFORMER tag, then I think the SBS
scanner should too.
The cuesheet scanner does get better over time. E.G. It didn't used to
support DISCNUMBER tags, but it does now.
Anyway, here is what I've added to my windows flac metadata embedding
script to add an ALBUMARTIST tag...getting the data for the tag from
the name of the directory in which the flac resides:
Code:
--------------------
:CALC_ALBUMARTIST
if exist albumartist.txt goto SET_ALBUMARTIST
echo %CD% | "%~dp0parsepath.exe" -c -n -o --prefix=ALBUMARTIST=
>albumartist.txt
:SET_ALBUMARTIST
rem Check for UTF8
"%~dp0FileHasBOM.exe" albumartist.txt
if not errorlevel 1 echo Translating Ansi Album Aritst.. &
"%~dp0ansitoutf8.exe" /Q /U albumartist.txt
:SET_ALBUMARTIST_UTF8
echo Setting Album Artist tag..
rem Remove the BOM from the file..
"%~dp0TrimFile.exe" albumartist.txt 3 /B /Q
"%~dp0metaflac.exe" --no-utf8-convert --import-tags-from=albumartist.txt
"%~n1.flac"
rem Put the BOM back..
"%~dp0ansitoutf8.exe" /Q /N albumartist.txt
--------------------
So, if a flac resides in G:\Music\n_Modern_French\Bozza, E\
..then albumartist.txt ends up containing:
ALBUMARTIST=Bozza, E
..and the flac gets tagged accordingly.
Probably much more straight forward to do this with a linux shell
script...which will be my next little chore.
