i actually have tested most apps. i have yet to see an app that doesn't support "album artist" (in some way) and if there is one its a piece of crap. any app worth using does, and thats a given, is it not? radish;409688 Wrote: > In my experience (and according to the OP's own description) jriver > doesn't need ALBUMARTIST set for compilations - it figures it out from > the fact that the ARTIST tags vary, just like SC does. true, but its not consistent. SC puts them in an area called "Various Artists" and jriver puts them in an area called "Multiple Artists" in addition, i for one don't want every comp i have, (or what these apps stupidly see as comps since every artist disagreement is not necessarily indicative of it being a comp), just thrown into a big dump pile catchall category called Various Artists, Multiple Artists, or what have you... i use album artist to group film soundtracks, tv soundtracks, broadway, comedy albums, etc... and this is consistent across all apps i have used. also, he said that he labels soundtracks and so on... that means SC won't see it as a comp. not sure if that matters to him? he could over-ride that with a comp tag, but i don't know if jriver supports that. but what i was saying is that my method would allow him to get a consistent exp across not just SC and jriver, but all other apps (worth a damn) too. radish;409688 Wrote: > Also, in my experience SC (the only one I really care about) actually > doesn't like you setting ALBUMARTIST for compilations.
