Hi Pippin,

I see you have been getting a bit bombarded of late! :) But I was
wondering of you had a moment to comment on the issue in iPeng with Now
Playing not displaying multiple artist names (when present), I've had a
bit of a browse/search but can't see if what I'm thinking has been
raised previously?

I was wondering if as a work around whether there's a way to switch that
<artist> field to <album artist> instead, solely in iPeng
clients? Is there a switch setting in iPeng?

I think you can change this in LMS right (although I haven't double
checked for sure)? But that's global so will affect other clients (e.g.
Web Browsers) as well, which do display multi-artist names OK...

In my library I always have the album artist as a single name (e.g. Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers), while my artist field will have multiple
entries (e.g. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; Tom Petty; The
Heartbreakers; plus any other individual band members I have other
albums for, and/or any guest artists on individual tracks). So
displaying <album artist> instead of <artist> would be a
usable work around that would display meaningful information in Now
Playing.

P.S. On a different tangent (probably telling you how to suck eggs here
but) have you thought of writing something to strip the semi-colons out
of the string to turn it into a single value (e.g. replace ; with , or
such like)?

Many TIA.

:)
