If the song is a duet, I'd expect two artists to be labelled on the song ;-) To get the album to appear as an album by Frank Sinatra, and not under Aretha Franklin, requires an additional ALBUM ARTIST tag to be added. i.e. the artists should be mandatory. The software shouldn't assume that an album artist is a performer on a song. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
