Using Artist where AlbumArtist is not set?
Hi folks,
I want to be able display my music by Album Artist - but I have quite a lot of albums which only have an "Artist" tag. Generally I've used "AlbumArtist" for music where individual tracks are not all by the main Artist, but I prefer to look at the music by the "main" artist. For example, I have an album by "Bliss N Eso" but it has tracks by "Bliss N Eso feat. Nas" - so here I have an Album Artist tag. (This is also useful for compilations where a band changed name or members, e.g. "Sting and the Police" has Album Artist of "Sting" for convenience) At the moment I have my IndexTags set to include "Artist" and "AlbumArtist" - but "AlbumArtist" is only showing albums where I've explicitly set that tag. Is there some way to set that index to fall back to "Artist" for tracks that have no "AlbumArtist" tag? (The "Artist" index is almost useless, because it shows every variant of every individual artist, plus all the compilations and collections. I think it lists 700+ artists. If I could filter by "Artists with at least 5 tracks" that would also work, but at the moment it's a mess) |
