MusciBrainz have lately changed how the »Album Artist« is stored in the
tags by their -Picard- Tagger:
- ID3v2: TPE2 ("BAND")
- Vorbis Comment (FLAC, OGG): ALBUMARTIST
- APEv2: Album Artist
- iTunes MP4: aART
- Windows Media (WMA): WM/AlbumArtist
This presents many of us with the problem of re-tagging the "old" files
we have, in order to stay compatible and/or have everything tagged in
the same way. Also, even if it's "wrong" according to the ID3 specs,
iTunes, Winamp, Mp3tag and Logitech's SqueezeCenter (can) use TPE2
("Band") as "Album Artist" in ID3v2 tags.
In earlier times, MusicBrainz' -Picard- Tagger used "TXXX:MusicBrainz
Album Artist" in ID3v2 tags and "MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTIST" in Vorbis
Comment tags (FLAC, OGG).
I have written up a -Mp3tag- "action set" to handle that. 'Read more
over at the Mp3tag Forums!'
(http://www.anytag.de/forums/index.php?showtopic=8837&hl=)
-Warning:- This is not for the faint of heart. SqueezeCenter currently
still supports "the old tag frames" but of course anyone would probably
like to have only -one- set of well-defined tags in their files, and not
some funny "mixture" that breaks album display more often than not.
Enjoy, and feel free to adapt to your personal needs.
