No offense, but have you looked at the title? "Foobar2000:Encouraged
Tag Standards"
We're not dealing with Foobar here. I merely described how things work
in Slimserver. I couldn't care less for a standard proposed by a group
of Foobar users as I have never used that program (and probably never
will). Foobar seems to rely on this tag to properly recognize
compilations. IMHO the use of the tag in the proposed way is just a
workaround for one of the shortcomings of Foobar. Slimserver uses other
criteria to detect compilations (see my previous post).
Please also note that the article doesn't mention any file or tag
types. So I'm not sure to what files or tagging schemes this should be
applied. There' also a difference in spelling: The article has it as
"ALBUM ARTIST" (with space). I use "ALBUMARTIST" in vorbis comments
(flac, ogg) and TPE2 in ID3 (mp3). I'm not even sure if "ALBUM ARTIST"
is recognized in slimserver.
