I found another album containing multiple artist tags, and this one will probably provide the best insight into what might be going on. The album is by a single artist (Chris Botti), but several of the tracks have multiple artist tags listed, and the artists represented in the artist tags varies by track. For example:
Track 01: ARTIST = Chris Botti Track 02: ARTIST = Chris Botti; Paula Cole ARTIST = Paula Cole Track 06: ARTIST = Chris Botti ARTIST = Chris Botti; Billy Childs Track 08: ARTIST = Chris Botti ARTIST = Chris Botti; Billy Childs; Dominic Miller; Sting ARTIST = Sting All of these have a BAND tag (which Tag & Rename calls the ALBUMARTIST tag) of Chris Botti. Now, on to the behavior: This album displays properly in the SlimServer web interface (most likely because of the ALBUMARTIST tag - I believe that SlimServer uses this tag to represent the artist if the tag exists); when you click on a track that has multiple ARTIST tags, the web interface shows all of the artists listed as "Track Artists" ... for example, for track 08, SlimServer shows Album Artist: Chris Botti Track Artists: Chris Botti, Sting, Chris Botti; Billy Childs; Dominic Miller; Sting Notice that SlimServer has just blindly listed all the ARTIST tags, one after another ... hence Chris Botti and Sting are both listed twice. In Moose, under the "library" tab of the library tree, this entire album (all tracks) shows up under the artist name of "Chris Botti; Billy Childs; Dominic Miller; Sting". For whatever reason, Moose picked what appears to be the longest ARTIST string on the album, and applied that as the artist for all the tracks on the album. By the way, this album does NOT show up under the other artists (for example, it is not listed in Moose under "Sting"). Under the "Server" tab of the Moose Library Tree, the album shows up under both Chris Botti and Sting, but not under Paula Cole, Billy Childs, or any of the other artists (probably because I have other Sting albums in my collection). For now, I will leave the tags as they are on this album, in case you'd like me to test anything. -- Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2848 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
