Track artist ? I do tag files with several artist if that's the case the album may have a main artist the albumartist .
So yes I have artist that only are on other artists tracks and they may not have an album on thier own , I would call that a " track artist" there is no tag for that but in practice they exist but tagged as artist . In most of my albums that only have one artist I've only used the artist tag not the albumartist tag and I think that is the most common tag scheme of them all . To make the best of a scheme with separate. albumartist and artist browse I must amend most of my tagging I obviusly want to find all albums under albumartist browse . Under artist browse I would find all artist even if they just guest star on some track or are collaborators to another artist , simply every artist . Some that lobby for this scheme just assumes that everyone historically used the albumartist tag on every album I would gues that a very large >50% don't . That based on my previus noob experience learning tagging just accepting wath cddb or whatever gave me and most of the free dB stuff did not tag with albumartist . So the assumption must be that most people don't have albumartist tag and what would the consequence be ? They can use the artist browse it would work as it always did no difference, but they would endlessly wonder about the album artists browse :) Or in my case it would trigger an tag fixing event ( it may be overdue I have some old mistakes to correct here and there ) A file may not even be a part of an album , I do tag singles with an album name so that it becomes an album but many other users don't do that . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
