displaying composer as artist
I have my classical music tagged with composers and the rest (mostly) tagged with artist. My control point displays only the artist, which I have filled with conductor/orchestra for classical and it is not showing the composer.
I tried tagCustom=Composer.displayRole={artist} and I tried tagCustom=Composer.displayRole={author} and nothing changed about the display on my control point---I still do not see the composer there. (I don't have do do something special to get changes to take effect, do I? I tried restarting the server.) I assume I'm missing something simple here. A second question is more complex: can I add composer to the artist display only if the "Classical" genre tag exists? |

This setting doesn't add composer information to the artist display value. It sends the composer information as a separate XML tag. Some control points can display this composer information and others can't. Which control point is it? If you want to add composer information to the artist value displayed by the control point, you can add the following to the tagFormat property: Artist.displayFormat={$composer^^: $artist} The will display the artist value as one of the following: composer-name: artist-name (if there is a Composer tag) artist-name (if there is no Composer tag) Quote:I assume I'm missing something simple here.
