Album Artist tag - TPE2 or TXXX?

(1/3) > >>

mikolajek:
While doing some periodical maintenance of my mp3s collection, I've realized that some tool I use has added another tag related to Album Artist. So now I have "Album Artist" (TPE2) and "AlbumArtist" (TXXX) tags sets for all the files I guess.

It won't harm them obviously, but I've noticed that some tools (e.g. dbPoweramp) tend to list both tag values / merge them, which ends up in the tag value read by JRiver as "Some Artist / Some Artist" :o

I understand JRiver holds both values with no problems and displays just one of them, I don't know which though. Can you advise here? Should I remove the other tag or just leave it there?

TPE2 is the official Album Artist tag.

Awesome Donkey:
In addition, MC adds both for the sake of compatibility with devices.

So it was MC itself that added this? :-\ I wasn't sure which tool was to blame...

Is there any option to disable creating that? I'd also love to disable adding the tool tags to the tracks.

Awesome Donkey:
Just remove one of the tags, like TXXX.
