>It's probably worth adding that in my problem cases, not a single track >has the ALBUMARTIST as the TRACKARTIST. For example, the CD with >ALBUMARTIST=Lee Perry, but the TRACKARTISTS include The Upsetters, Max >Romeo, etc, but never Lee Perry. Is that the case for your album? > Yes. Each song has ALBUMARTIST="Alio Die & Saffron Wood", and that artist string doesn't exist anywhere else. Each song has ARTIST="Alio Die" and ARTIST="Saffron Wood", so none of the artist names match.
I also have ARTISTSORT="Die, Alio" and ARTISTSORT="Wood, Saffron", so that the individual performing artists are sorted correctly in my artist list. The only inconvenience I have with this is that the ALBUMARTIST doesn't have a correct sort order, as I have no ARTIST tag to associate an ARTISTSORT with (so it appears under "A" rather than "D"). As I said elsewhere, an ALBUMARTISTSORT would be nice. Failing that, a plugin that can correct artist sort data in the database, based on a list of artists and sort names. >if I search for "Lee Perry", he appears as an artist. It's only in the >browse artists that Lee Perry does not appear. > If I search for "Alio Die", I get two matching artists: Alio Die & Saffron Wood Alio Die Phil _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
