Separating multiple artist..is it possible?
« on: June 19, 2003, 01:52:38 pm »
Let me try to explain by example...

Lets say I have a song:

Title: Get At Me Dog
Artists: DMX, Sheek, and The Lox

The artist field looks like this...

DMX / Sheek / Lox, The

The artists are separated by [SPACE] [FORWARD SLASH] [SPACE]

Is there a way to get MC to separate the 3 artist so that when I'm browsing by artist the song (Get At Me Dog) will appear when I pick any of the artist (DMX, Sheek, and The Lox)? ?

So instead of having to pick "DMX / Sheek / Lox, The" when browsing to find the song I can just select any of the three artists...

I doubt it but it's worth a try ;D

This is what list-type fields are for.  You can create a new field like "Artists" and do this.

The new pane system in 9.1 makes tagging list-type fields a breeze.

Could Artist possibly be made a list type field?  Or at least have the option that it could be changed to one if someone wanted??

THANKS AGAIN ;D

It took less then 30 minute (maybe 20) to copy the field and do a find and replace for 10,000 song.

Ran into a little problem :(

While using list-type field, I can't seem to use the grouping level feature in the column properties. Well I can use it but it does nothing...is this normal?

I noticed that, too...  and the fact that list-type fields don't show up in the Search's "Add Rule".
