For me, I started out this way because it seemed like I could avoid all the issues of different tagging standards, and so that I could edit tags with a simple text editor. Of course, the argument falls down if cue sheets aren't dealt with by LMS the same way that it deals with embedded tags. But I didn't know that when I started all those years ago, and in fact it's worked well to date - I'm only now uncovering some apparently anomalous behaviour. I've done a bit more testing. LMS will allow multiple performers to be separated by ";" within any Performer tag, but it won't cope with multiple Performer tags (on separate lines) per track. And I was wrong about only performers who are common to all tracks being listed as Album Artists - it seems that ANY artist mentioned in any track (even those separated by ";") will appear as an Album Artist..... ....EXCEPT (and this is the bit that still strikes me as odd): 1) if I have a top level Performer field with ANYTHING in it and track level performers with multiple values separated by ";". In this case it doesn't matter whether the top level Performer matches any of the other Performers or not, I get NO Album Artists. 2) if I have a top level Performer that is not the same as the common single Performer for all the individual tracks. I'm going to have to take the dogs for a walk to think through what the logic is that creates these apparently anomalous cases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113834 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
