There are so many old threads on various artists, it is just making me more confused when I read through them. Here's my problem:
For the majority of my various artist compilations, I want each song artist in the artist list. Therefore, I have set compilations behavior to "List compilations under each artist." However, there are a handful which I want to appear under a common "Album Artist." I thought the "List albums by band" option would cause the Band/TPE2 tag to override whatever is in the track artist tag, but this does not appear to be the case. Let me give you a few examples where I would find it useful to have a way to designate an "Album Artist" that overrides "Track Artist": Example 1: A CD called the "The Great Blues Men" is tagged with each artist for the songs. However, I only want to see "The Great Blues Men" in My artist list for this particular CD since I am not likely to be searching for these particular artists by name. Example 2: I have albums by: --> Dave Matthews Band --> Dave Matthews (Solo) --> Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds but I want them all to appear under the "Album Artist" Dave Matthews. Example 3: A soundtrack where there is one primary album artist, but a handful of tracks feature another artist. I want this only to appear for the album artist. Is it possible to get what I want in the latest Slimserver? -- MeSue Sue PS: I want a Squeezebox boombox. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
