Well, I am glad everyone else understands how 'Album Artist (Auto)' works - because I certainly don't !
If its so simple, then explain these paradoxes in my current 'Album Artist (Auto)/Artist' view...
I have one album that seems to have two different Album Artists (Auto)'s, and another that has 18!
The first of these albums appears in the Single Artist (Complete) list with one of the Album Artists and in Single Artist (Incomplete) with the other.
The second album appears in Single Artist (Incomplete), despite actually having 18 different Album Artist (Auto)'s.
This also seems to be tied up with tags. Unfortunately, I don't see how to access all these tags using MJ9, seeing they aren't all accessible from properties.
Another post ( Separate Tagging Program necessary? -
http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=beta;action=display;num=1037297767) indicates that MJ9 can do almost everything one wants with tags. I still can't find how. How can I use a Composer tag, for example, when there seems to be no access to it?
Is it possible to view the Album Artist (Auto) value for a track, other than through views?
With all these apparent paradoxes, no wonder I am confused.
Dear All-Omnipotent Moderator-Developers (bless your cotton socks!). (
Hope that got their attention)
Can we please have some clear statements on the algorithms behind Album Artist (Auto) and the various Multiple and Single artist types?
