Display Problems in LINN Kazoo

[Dr. Doom O)))]

Hello,

I have stored almost 1700 artists with 2000 albums on my MELCO Minimserver.

I tagged everything with Jaikoz/Songkong.

I specifically edited ARTIST, ALBUM ARTIST, ARISTSORT and ALBUMARTISTSORT manually.
So far so good.

Unfortunately, a few ALBUMARTISTs are not displayed correctly for LINN Kazoo.
Example:

I find Alessandro Cortini under A instead of C.
I find Larry and the Lefthanded under A as “and the Lefthanded.

All tags seem okay to me

Does somebody has any idea?


My Minimserver Settings:

——
aliasTags
Artists:-Artist, Artists_Sort:-ArtistSort

indexTags
Album_Artists:Album Artists, All Artists, Date, -OriginalDate:Original Date, Genre, *RecentAdded, *RecentPlayed, #AudioData, #AudioFormat

itemTags
Album_Artists_Sort, ArtistSort, Composer, Work, Orchestra, Conductor, Ensemble, Performer, Choir


mergeFolderAlbums
False

tagOptions
Date.yearOnly.index.sort, OriginalDate.yearOnly.index.sort


tagValue
Album_Artists.value.sort={Album_Artists_Sort}, Artist.value.sort={ArtistSort}, Album_Artists.default={AlbumArtist, Artist}

Thx
Klaus

The Minimserver is running on a Mac Studio.

It sounds like there is a problem with your Album_Artists_Sort tag values.

Hi, yes you are using ALBUM_ARTISTS instead of ALBUM_ARTIST for the Album Artist index so that when you have multiple album artists for an album so then you can see all albums by a particular artist under one entry regardless of if they are the only album artist on that album or not and the equivalent multi value sort field is ALBUM_ARTISTS_SORT as you have configured for MinimServer tagValue option, but it seems you are editing ALBUMARTISTSORT instead so this will have no effect.

The correct solution would be to edit the ALBUM_ARTISTS_SORT field.

Another solution would be to change

Code:

Album_Artists.value.sort={Album_Artists_Sort}

to

Code:

Album_Artists.value.sort={AlbumArtistSort}

to use your edited value, however this is unlikely to be correct when the album artist contains multiple values.

If you require more help feel free to run Status Report in SongKong and then Create Support Files and I can then have a look at exactly what is stored in your files.
