Bugzilla – Bug 2420
Albums that contain a band name (TPE2) tag are being listed twice
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
Despite "List albums by band" being selected (and not "List albums for all artists for that album") albums that contain a band name (TPE2)tag and a different Artist name are being listed twice. Once by "Artist name" and also by "band name" (also known as Album Artist or TPE2) i.e. Title Album Artist Album Artist X&Y X&Y Coldplay; Matty Bain Coldplay Would appear under both "Coldplay" and "Coldplay;Matty Bain" in the artist listing. With the appropriate option selected this should appear under the band name/album artist name of "Coldplay".
Can you please attach a file to this bug that exhibits the problem? Thanks.
You also need to turn on 'Show Bands'
I have uploaded 2 files one MP3 and one WMA, these are both tagged as follows Track Track Artist Album Artist Type Square one Coldplay; Matty Bain Coldplay MP3 Who do you.. Spice Girls; Matty Bain Spice Girls WMA On the 31/10 Nightly I see the following behaviour Show Bands / Orchestra No Yes Yes No List albums by bands No No Yes Yes Number of artist visible 3 4 4 3 No of artists s/d be vis 2 4 2 2 The 3 artists are Coldplay; Matty Bain, Spice Girls, Spice Girls; Matty Bain The 4 artists are Coldplay + same as 3 artists
I think the uploads have crashed my computers settings, I will try again from home and reduce their sizes from 10mb and 5mb to something a little more managable.
Help, how do you attach files. It is complaining it is not the right type, I just want to upload 1 mp3 and 1 wma files of 1mb and 800k.
use the radio buttons...choose "select from list" and pick "binary file"

This is technically the same as bug 2317 - and isn't a trival change. Pushing off past 6.2.1
Matthew - did you have the setting to split artists set to ; ? Thanks
QA to verify if this still happens.
Chris did you want this checked against 6.5.4? I tested and this is not a problem in 7.0.
Fixed in 7.0
