Not sure though!
This is inconsistent with what I am seeing. I just checked several artists and in some cases both the album artist and artist are in the artist list, but in some cases only the album artist appears. Several examples: ----------------- Example 1 ----------------- Album Artist: Tom Petty Artist: Tom Petty Artist: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Artist: Mudcrutch SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes: Tom Petty Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (NOT Mudcrutch) ----------------- Example 2 ----------------- Album Artist: Jakob Dylan Artist: Jakob Dylan Artist: The Wallflowers SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes: Jakob Dylan The Wallflowers ----------------- Example 3 ----------------- Album Artist: Rob Thomas Artist: Rob Thomas Artist: Matchbox Twenty Artist: Tabitha's Secret SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes: Rob Thomas Tabitha's Secret (NOT Matchbox Twenty) ----------------- Example 4 ----------------- Album Artist: Brian Setzer Artist: The Brian Setzer Orchestra Artist: Stray Cats SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes: Brian Setzer (NOT The Brian Setzer Orchestra) (NOT Stray Cats) ----------------- Example 5 ----------------- Album Artist: Dave Matthews Artist: The Dave Matthews Band Artist: Dave Matthews Artist: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes: Dave Matthews Dave Matthews Band (NOT Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds) ---------------------------------- And now I have a headache from trying to figure this out. Unfortunately, the software I use for tagging and playback on the PC doesn't support multiple ALBUMARTIST tags or that would be a good solution. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50492 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
