I have been mostly using foobar2000 to tag my files, but I can't figure out how to deal with 'Various Artists' albums. In the end, I would like to end up with an artist list that only contains performers that have one or more full albums linked to them, and everything else under 'Various Artists'.
I have basically 2 types of these in my library: - mp3s that have ALBUM ARTIST set to 'Various Artists' - mp3s that have ALBUM ARTIST set to '<Main performer>' Now I encounter several issues: - I have found this topic http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57594 describing an issue with 'ALBUM ARTIST' being set instead of 'ALBUMARTIST'. According to the Changelog this should be fixed in 7.3.3, but apparently it isn't. Maybe it is really only fixed for FLAC's, but then the bug/enhancement should not have been closed(?) - Files that have ALBUMARTIST set to 'Various Artists' show up properly - Files that have ALBUM ARTIST set to '<Main performer>' indeed show up under that name only, but when going into single album view, the performers aren't added to the tracks (i.e. 'by Performer X') as it does for the 'Various Artists' As for settings, I have selected 'Group compilation albums together', otherwise all artists will show up. Any advice on how to make progress is welcome! -- Roger the Shrubber ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roger the Shrubber's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=739 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61451 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
