Title: Can we have Various Artists instead of 'Assorted' ?!?
Post by: slikvik on July 30, 2004, 10:59:08 am

Hi,

Can we please have MC10 use a Various Artists tag and also have the option to populate the Album Artist field with what is in the Album Artist(Auto) field. While the Auto field is great & clever, sometimes you need a fixed data entry on your MP3's to do stuff.

Thanks

Vic

You can create your own Fields:
Options-Tree and View

Then if you want you can copy 1 field to the other...

Does that help?

Just manually set the "Album Artist" field for all the tracks on the album in question to "Various Artists", then make a view scheme which uses "Album Artist (auto)".

If there is nothing in "Album Artist" and all the tracks are by the same artist, Album Artist (auto) shows the album under the Artists name, if you put "Various Artists" in it, the album is displayed in the tree under "Various Artists".

Simple, eh?
