Album sorting

Postby Guest » 14. Feb 08, 18:45

I have a problem wherby an album will have 9 out of 10 tracks by theartist, and 1 track credited to the artist + guest.
When silverjuke sorts the albums, it is placed in the alphabetical list using the ALBUM name not the ARTIST. I can get round this by recrediting the artist all the same, but is there another way?
Silverjuke seems to ignore the 'album artiat' tag.

by the way great piece of software ;-)

For Silverjuke, this album is a compilation, and compilations have no lead artist. And this behaviour is not wrong: A mixed album or "Artist A" and "Artist A+B" has no unique lead artist.

However, your workaround should be fine. Maybe you can add the missing artist in the field "Original arist" or in the comments section.

Yes, as it is used rather seldom and as it is not supported in all tagging formats.

Finally, we want to keep the whole stuff simple ;-) There will always be situation where the database/tagging model cannot be used - just because it is a model.

Thank you very much.
