I have a few "Various Artists" albums that I have ripped via dBPoweramp. On these albums, the AlbumArtist is left blank. In the Artist field, I have put the names of the Artists on the track. For example, on my Cole Porter album, track 3 is "Bennett, Tony\\Count Basie" (from MP3Tag).

When I browse the Library (in both Kinsky and Bubble), this appears as "Bennett, Tony, Count Basie". I had hoped that these might appear as separate Artists. Is this normal behaviour?

To see these artists separately, you need to add All Artists to the indexTags property. Multiple artists are combined in the Artist index and listed seprately in the All Artist index.

Quote:Secondly, in Kinsky/Bubble, I would like to browse Composers by surname. Is there an easy way of doing this, or am I going to have to manually change all composers to "Bruckner, Anton" or similar at the time of rip?

There is no configuration option to change this. You should be able to use Mp3tag to do a bulk change. There has been some previous forum discussion about how to use regular expression matching to do this.

This is the right place to ask questions like these.
