Add a new role for contributing artists
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:22:38 UTC
I'd like to see a new role added (a la band/conductor/composer) that allows users to list artists who have contributed to an album or track, but who don't deserve to be listed in the ARTIST tag. Examples include producers, remixers, featured artists, or simply a list of members of a supergroup. Ideally it could be turned on/off just like the band/conductor/composer tags are.
Created attachment 1982 [details] diff against 6.5.2 to add a contributor field
I'm attaching a diff that applies to branches/6.5/server. It needs to be localized and sanity checked, and this version only works with flac/mp3. However, it applies cleanly against 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 and, at least in my testing so far, works fine.
Andy, what do you think?
I don't know. I'd like to see a patch against SC7 that supports all file types and more input from the community. Also I think the terminology is confusing here since we already use the term 'contributor'.
Needs more discussion, will re-examine post-7.0.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
