[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Identical tagging showed differently
LMS 7.9.0 - 1488878280 I noticed that on a compilation album where all songs are tagged identically; The Album Artist field = *Various Artists* while the Artist Name field = the actual name of the artist on all tracks. However, some of the songs are displayed just as *Various Artists* during playback, while others are displayed correctly with the name of the artist (See screen shot below). 22631 I have inspected the metadata tags in depth using both MediaMonkey and Foobar. There is no difference between them. This erroneous display of artist name seems to be client independent as it shows up exactly the same way in other clients I have tested (Squeezeplay, Squeeze Ctrl, etc). So this is obviously an LMS issue. This album has 40 tracks. 19 of them are displayed incorrectly. There is nothing peculiar with those tracks. No funny characters or double names, extra spaces or anything as far as I could find. Any ideas, anyone? +---+ |Filename: Capture.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22631| +---+ QNAP TS-453Mini 4x3TB RAID5 QTS 4.2.4 LMS 7.9.0 running in Docker Madsonic 6.2 running in Docker Plex running in Docker QNAP HS-251 2x2TB RAID0, QTS 4.2.4 Kodi 16.1 Jarvis QNAP TS-119 1TB Single, QTS 4.2.4 Retired oyvindo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107351 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

IMHO the difference is something like - when is the file discovered by lms (scan import) and did the album already belong to an Artist...

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Identical tagging showed differently
I've always been baffled when I see a compilation album with the Album Artist named as "Various Artists", I mean as in - I'd like to welcome to the stage right now, *Mr . . . Various . . . Artists*, I have no band, group, performer, artist named "Various Artists". :confused::confused: I have 167 albums that are compilations, the "Album Artist" tag for these is blank, the track artist is the "Artist", all tracks have Compilation = 1. All these albums appear under "Compilations" in LMS, with the correct artist for each track. My settings under LMS > Settings > My Music are untouched. 22632 22633 22634 22635 +---+ |Filename: ultimate.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22635| +---+ LMS 7.9 on a Raspberry Pi 3/piCorePlayer 3.20beta7, playlists and LMS cache on a USB stick, 25K+ music library on a WD MyCloud network drive, Rasberry Pi 2/piCorePlayer 3.02 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 Raspberry Pi 3/piCorePlayer 3.20beta7/HiFiBerry DAC+ > Cambridge Audio Minx 5 (study) Rasberry Pi 2/piCorePlayer 3.02 > HiFiBerry DAC+ > Sharp micro system (garage) 1 x Boom (dining room) - 1 x Touch (used for display and controller only) - 1 x SB3 (spare) - 1 x Radio (spare) kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107351 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Identical tagging showed differently
Thanks everyone for great tips and ideas. It looks like I've made some unintentional mistakes in my tagging strategy. I'll look into that now.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Identical tagging showed differently
It's a common error that everyone does at some stage and frankly most of the tag databases and most rippers assign varius artist :/ they just do ? I think the developers for the most popular rip softwares should look at thier default settings , this and many other things creeps in when you new to this and you have to revisit the files to retag a decade later ? And I think this was some convention used with other older software players that did not have a compilation menu . To force collections and best of the 80's etc to show up somewhere ?
