The artist strings are different after all? If every song had multiple artists all being the same, then it wouldn't be a compilation. If there are multiple artists and some are different, then it is a compilation.
Just add ALBUM ARTIST when there are ANY differences. I strongly suggest NOT adding ALBUM ARTIST to everything. Somereasons: 1. You'll have to add COMPILATION tags for albums you want to be compilations, as this would not automatically be set. 2. You'll end up with SBS reporting "Track Artist" and "Album Artist" in the UI; most of the time the two will be the same, so you get superfluous information displayed. 3. More tagging; more chance for other errors. Eg. if you notice a typo in an artist name, you have to change it in BOTH tags all the time. There may be other weird issues with navigating artist links in the SBS library too, as sometimes the contributor role is used in lookup queries, so e.g. BAND="X" may not be found if you click on a Track Artist="X" link (but would if you were to click on an Artist link). _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
