No software should assume that AA tags will always be there or never be there.
You are right though that there are plenty of apps/download sites that don't provide AA tags. FreeDB is one of the biggest metadata collections and doesn't provide AA. I've never retrieved AA tags through Mp3Tag, and that uses FreeDB, Discogs, Amazon and MusicBrainz. I don't think Foobar does either. EAC doesn't. I think that it's quite common for consumers to purchase single tracks, rather than albums. I'm not sure it's desirable to have album artists if the whole album isn't downloaded. i.e. users may not even want an album tag for track downloads. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
