If you have TPE2 tags in your MP3 files that you like to be considered as ALBUMARTIST, you will have to set the "Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist" option in "SqueezeCenter Settings/Behaviour" slimkid;314225 Wrote: > > - it will be listed and sorted by albumartist in 'album' view > Correct! For MP3 files, the setting "List albums by all artists for that album" no longer seems to have any effect if you have set the "Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist" option. I suppose the reason is that TPE2 is considered to be Album Artist instead of Band when this options is active. slimkid;314225 Wrote: > > - it will be listed by albumartist in 'artist' view > Correct! slimkid;314225 Wrote: > > - other artists (from ARTIST tags) will not show in the artist list, > unless there is already some other album by that particular artist > Correct! The other artists aren't even shown if you have enabled the "List compilation albums under each artist" option. The only place the other artists are shown is when you lists the tracks on an album or views the track details. slimkid;314225 Wrote: > > - if there are other albums or tracks by the artist participating in > some of ARTIST tags, then it is possible to drill down by artist > between other albums and tracks and this album (and vice versa) > Correct! You will see both the non compilation albums and the compilation albums belonging to the artist. The compilation albums will be listed as "... by Various Artists", albums with TPE2 or ALBUMARTIST tags will be listed as "... by <Album Artist or TPE2 artist>". slimkid;314225 Wrote: > > - if there are other albums by the artist participating in some of > ARTIST tags in 'our' album, then in 'artist' view, under that artist, > our album is also listed and following the link, it will lead to only > tracks performed by that artist. > Correct! Although, I don't really understand the difference compared to the previous question. I've verified all this from the web interface, but I'm pretty sure it behaves the same way in the player and controller interfaces. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
