Would it be recommended that I extend this to, for example, Artist: Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand/Lou Costello/Bud Abbott. ?
I'm moving along in the process of settling into MB -- organizing MB's display as well as the actual underlying organization of files and folders.
'artist' is the artist or even several artists of given track. 'album artist' is the pseudo-artist of whole album. i wrote 'pseudo' because it usually is something like 'various artists'. 'album artist' tag is intended mostly for compilations. if stored 'album artist' tag is empty then its *displayed* value (everywhere except for tag editor) will be gotten from 'artist' tag.
Sadly MusicBee uses the "artist" value for "album artist" when it is empty. Can i disable this? I do not want to have any artists in the album-artist tag displayed, because this will destroy my sorting method i have.
$IsNull(<Album Artist >,,<Album Artist >)
there is a trick you can use - define a virtual tag with exactly the following:Code$IsNull(<Album Artist >,,<Album Artist >)
