Bugzilla – Bug 106
make other tags available for display format and/or more meta information and appear as artists

And additional to this enhancement it would be fine if the software would support all text only frames from ID3V2 (2.3 and 2.4). I think it shouldn't be that hard to add those to the frames that can be displayed on the display while playing. In special it would be fine to get the "Band/Orchestra" (TPE2) because I use this frame for "featured Artists" which should be displayed after the Artist. Maybe it would be enough to add a FRAME(framename) command so everybody can display all frames he wants. ALSO In fact, it would be very handy if the contents of the composer, conductor, soloist, and band/orchestra tags were all treated as additional artist tags. That way, a classical disk could be retrieved through the Browse Artist menu under the name of the composer, conductor, soloist or orchestra. For example, I have an album entitled "Kathleen Battle Sings Mozart" that could be tagged such that it could be retrieved through the Browse Artist menu under any of the following entries: Battle, Kathleen Previn, Andre Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus I don't think you would need to create separate browsing menus for these other data types. It seems to me that the existing Browse Artist menu would work well for all of them.
We do now support the TCM/TCOM (Composter), TP3/TPE3 (Conductor), TP2/TPE2 (Band/Orchestra) tags and use their values in the Browse Artists list if the "composerInArtists" preference is set. While this bug talks about a more generic mechanism, I'm tempted to close it because we do the right thing with the artist-related tags.
lets clean this stuff up and close this if we're as far as we're going to go. on how we'll process this stuff. if there is something specific that isn't covered, then I'm sure its either duped already, or a new bug can be filed. Vidur, please feel free to mark resolved if you still feel that we are doing the right thing.
I'd like to keep this one open please, as I'm still waiting to get at least the ID3 tag TIT1 ('Content group description'), esp. since it is used by iTunes (called "Grouping" there). This is very useful to hold the name of a classical piece, while the TIT2 ("normal" title) holds the movement. Thanks, Alexander.
Sorry, just saw that my request for TIT1 support is still open as Bug #557 - so no objections to closing this one :-)
Moving bugs that won't be immediately fixed in 6.1 release. Please review and update if this is an error or if this bug has already been fixed. Thanks.
This bug appears to have been fixed in the latest release! If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look. Make sure to include the version number of the software you are seeing the error with.
