These are multiple artist cds. Are you telling me I have to remove the artist from each track and replace it with [Varies}. Doesn't make sense to me.
The "Album Artist" and "Artist" tags are different tags. The Album Artist tag has to be the same, but the Artist tag can vary.
So the Album Artist tag for each file could read "Multiple Artists," but the Artist tag for each file could have the track's actual artist.
So "Album" and "Album Artist" need to be the same, but "Artist" can vary.
And why doesn't it import/rip properly in the first place?
Internet tag sources are rarely perfect; manual tag editing is sometimes necessary when ripping CDs no matter what software you use (I've ripped thousands of CDs using four or five different software solutions over the years and never found one that didn't involve some tag editing).
