It is great that albumartist has been implemented for cue files but that
raises the issue of how artistsort and albumartistsort are treated in
the cue files.
Currently the situation is:
REM ALBUMARTISTSORT is ignored, whether in the cue file header or in the
cue file tracks
REM ARTISTSORT is ignored if it appears in a cue file track but used if
it appears in the cue file header section.
BUT if REM ARTISTSORT appears in the cue file header - it is then used
for PERFORMER artists in BOTH the cue file header and tracks. I.e. if
there are different artists specified in the PERFORMER lines in the
header and one of the tracks - the REM ARTISTSORT is used for both:
e.g.
Code:
--------------------
-Header:-
PERFORMER "First Second;Third Fourth"
REM ARTISTSORT "SECOND FIRST;FOURTH THIRD"
.......
-Track:-
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Track Title"
PERFORMER "AN Other;Fred Bloggs"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
etc, etc
--------------------
Both "First Second" and "AN Other" would have "SECOND FIRST" in the
namesort field in the contributors table.
Both "Third Fourth" and "Fred Bloggs" would have "FOURTH THIRD" in the
namesort field in the contributors table.
My request:
That albumartistsort is implemented (presumably as REM ALBUMARTISTSORT
in the header section) for artists appearing in the cue file header
(i.e. on the header PERFORMER line).
That artistsort is implemented (presumably as REM ARTISTSORT in the
track data) for artists appearing in the cue file track data (i.e. on
the track PERFORMER line).
