Ok, so I take it that most tracks are by Adam Freeland plus another artist? If this were a Flac file you'd tag it something like: ALBUMARTIST=Adam Freeland ARTIST=Somebody Else COMPILATION=0 or ALBUMARTIST=Adam Freeland ARTIST=Adam Freeland ARTIST=Somebody Else COMPILATION=0 On an album like this it's important that you explicitly mark it "not a compilation" or SlimServer will think it's a compilation simply by virtue of having different artists on each track. With mp3, though, it's not always easy to do that, since ITUNESCOMPILATION is the closest id3v2 T--- frame equivalent to the Flac COMPILATION field and when it's _not_ a compilatin that frame will usually be absent rather than have a value of 0. If you can retag the file using a good tagger like Mp3tag then you can add the COMPILATION frame (which is added as a 'user defined' TXXX frame of name COMPILATION) with a value of 0. > - Best of Ibiza 2008: it's a mix album as well, but the main artist is > unknown > > i want to see the album of Adam Freeland under his name, and the Best > of Ibiza under Various Artists. what is the difference between the two > albums on the tagging level? which of theese tags do i need and what > value do I have to set: > BAND, COMPILATION, ALBUMARTIST, TPE2, TCMP > > thanks! For ALBUMARTIST you can use BAND (which is TPE2 in idv3v2 tags) but make sure you'vve set the SlimServe option Compilations > List albums by band set. Or avoid the confusion and use an id3v2 TXXX frame of name ALBUMARTIST. If you don't have any idea what I'm talking about, I honestly don't blame you. It's not easily understandable on the first go. It can take some doing to get your library into the right order for SlimServer to make sense of it. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43380 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
