This kind of question was done to death back when Audioscrobbler had
their artist moderation feature - the answer was always to refer to
Musicbrainz. It's certainly not very satisfactory for multiple artists,
but it is at least a standard from which fairly meaningful stats can be
derived.
However I don't think I've ever seen anybody ask the AS folks what to
do when the music file contains two separate artist tags, so it may be
worth asking at their forums? It might also be worth asking them to
I'll go and post to the AS-development forum. I wanted to the last few
days, but never got around to ;-)
consider allowing multiple artists in some future version of the
submission protocol. I suspect they'd just want data in the Musicbrainz
style though.
I don't think the plugin should be calculating a combined artist name
unless AS give us a standard for us (and the other AS plugins - this is
by no means just a question for SlimScrobbler) to follow. So don't ditch
your code Hakan, just shelve it :)
I'll simply post the code to the list here, that is another form of
"backup" ;-)
BTW how did you get the individual multiple artists out of SlimServer?
my @artists = $trackObj->artists();
if (@artists) {
foreach my $innerArtist (@artists) {
if (defined($artistName)) {
$artistName .= " & " . $innerArtist->name();
} else {
$artistName = $innerArtist->name();
}
}
}
