Bugzilla – Bug 5086
Play by artist includes composer data
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:12 UTC
When I press play with the UI on the name of an artist, the resulting playlist includes all tracks from that artist as a COMPOSER. Example: I browse to THOM YORKE. He only has one album, ERASER. If I press play at THOM YORKE, all RADIOHEAD tracks with Thom Yorke listed as a composer are included in the resulting playlist. If I arrow in to ERASER, and press play, the ERASER album will play. This is bad behavior: there's no way for me to play only tracks by this one artist, since it conflates his solo work with his compositional work.
what is the setting for COMPOSER, BAND AND ORCHESTRA IN ARTISTS? Server settings->behavior
All are unchecked.
so, just so that I have this clear: Browsing Thom Yorke shows correct data, Playing Thom Yorke is incorrect How about with web? Browse ok? Playing ok/wrong? I don't have a library that can easily replicate the problem, but the answers should help to narrow down the location of the faulty find. Jason, also might be worth having a crack at the 6.5.3 builds, as there have been some changes affecting how we select when composer is involved. It would be good to know if there is improvement or regression with the changes already made. thanks.
Okay, I've loaded the latest 6.5.3 nightly and wiped everything from my Caches, wiped my iTunes XML, started from scratch... and the problem is gone. So either this was a weird quirk or it got fixed with the latest round of changes.
