So I'm actually the person who convinced slim that they needed the option to treat TPE2 as Album Artist at scan time, and as the default.
This is bc virtually all software handles TPE2 this way, most don't even give a choice. Whatever u do, I would suggest you don't mess with that. It is unfortunate, bc 1. It is out of spec, and 2. there is no well supported workaround to have explicit band tags in id3 based files. That is the de facto reality however. So if u want BAND values represented in ur id3 files, but separate from AA values, u really only have two choices: 1. Create a custom tag per spec like this: TXXX BAND ...but idk if server does or can support that frame. 2. Hijack another field. There are doubtless other id3 fields u don't use, but are supported by ur software. Yes it's a kludge and might be hard to fully expose or implement but imo its probably the best solution. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109265 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
