"New Music" artist display not accurate with various artist disc
Last modified: 2008-12-15 11:57:30 UTC
I love having the artists listed in the "new music" display! This is a huge improvement. A minor issue is that when it is a various artist disc it takes the simple route and just uses the artist(s) from the first track. It would be nice if the artist name were changed to a localized "various artists" in this case.
This might be an argument for adding a "cd artist" field to the album table. might this speed up grabbing artist data (as opposed to grabbing a track, then its artist) and would build during scan, using "various" when the server finds more that one 'artist' for an album. Of course, the problem is then to split artist from the other contributor types.
Vidur - what do you think of this?
linking to 1463 since the ALBUMARTIST tag in vorbis will be part of fixing this.
I've added this feature as part of the 6.2/trunk tree - subversion change 3849. Please see the link for details & file any future enhancements as a new bug. Thanks.
looks great Dan, thanks!
