You have manually entered ALBUMARTIST tags to your files. This means you have now a user defined field called ALBUMARTIST. In some programs the id3 standard tag TPE2 (BAND) is referred to as the albumartist tag. This might lead to some confusion. I don't think Slimserver treats the TPE2 (BAND) and your user defined ALBUMARTIST tag in the same way. If it did your album would be listed under Various Artists. The "List albums by band" setting is completely irrelevant in this case because there are no TPE2 (BAND) tags at all. And if there were your album would be listed under both Various Artists and Bill Laswell. I believe that your custom ALBUMARTIST tag is treated like a regular artist tag. When you look at the details page for a single file what do you see? Is Bill Laswell listed as additional artist or is there an entry ALBUMARTIST: Bill Laswell?
Generally speaking it is always cumbersome to introduce custom fields because you cannot predict how they will be interpreted by different programs. -s. -- slimpy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19519 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
