Bugzilla – Bug 1144
Composer tag overriding artist tag for other songs by particular artist
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:53:41 UTC
I have 3 albums by Placebo in my collection - all MP3s correctly tagged with artist 'Placebo'. I also have one album on which Placebo play a single track which has 'Nick Kent' in the composer field. The artist for all Placebo tracks is now being displayed as 'Nick Kent', whether I browse by artist or search. Even using live search, typing 'Plac' actually brings up Nick Kent, and clicking this link returns the Placebo albums. While the server is performing an initial scan, I can search for these tracks and they are correctly identified. Once the server scans the one file with the composer tag set as Nick Kent, however, all the tracks by Placebo are returned with Nick Kent as the artist. I'm using 6.0b3 (2005-03-21), but I first spotted it on the 2005-03-15 nightly (which was about the time I added the offending track).
Created attachment 351 [details] d_scan d_info log Part of log showing the scan of this file with d_scan and d_info set
received a report of this... will this make it in to 6.0.1?
Checked in a fix to the problem. It should appear in the 1/2/05 nightly build at http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.1/.
