Revisiting the Artist and All Artists Index

[paultaylor]

Thanks but Im not quite getting it since simbuns post talks about AlbumArtist, and simon discusses Artist, not do I get the need to use displayFormat as suggested by Simbun as it looks correct to me.

Let me show you what I now have and am trying to achieve and you can comment if it is okay or not

aliasTags:Artists:-Artist
indexTags:Album_artists:Album Artists, All Artists:Artists
tagValue:Album_Artists.default={AlbumArtist}

I want to display an Album Artists index that uses the value of Album_Artists, but if that is missing fall back to use AlbumArtist. And an Artists index that uses the value of Artists but falls back to using Artist if that missing.

I have done them two different ways so the value of AlbumArtist is nor modified and therefore does not cause a problem for identifying albums. Also I'm not clear what would be the difference if instead I did it this way instead.

indexTags:Album_artists:Album Artists, Artists
tagValue:Album_Artists.default={AlbumArtist}, Artists.default={Artist}
