SBS should support TXXX BAND tags
Last modified: 2018-12-09 00:39:53 UTC
b/c most people, and many apps, now hijack TPE2 to = albumartist, there is as a result no band frame for id3 files. in fact, my understanding is that the default for mp3tag is to now use TPE2 for AA, and it then assigns TXXX BAND tags/frames right now, when the user wants to add band information, (not commonly done, but implemented nonetheless). so given this, it would be nice if SBS would support reading and entering TXXX BAND tags, for id3, as band in the SBS DB, just as it supports other TXXX frames.
TXXX BANDSORT would also be sensible. i actually don't know what mp3tag is doing now with either id3 or vorbis as far as "band" type tags are concerned, but for id3 anyway, if TPE1=Artist and TPE2=Album Artist then some kind of TXXX solution needs to exist for Band.
Additionally, it would make sense to add a toggle to scanning options that would tell LMS to use the scanned value for Album Artist, for Band as well in the LMS db, unless there is an explicit Band value present in the tags.
