General Discussions / Musicbee appends Bands to Album Artists?
« on: June 01, 2023, 09:04:49 PM »
I have various music files (m4a) and according to mp3tag (and other programs) there is only one identical "Album Artist" on each of them: "Various Artists."
MusicBee however shows "Album Artist" as whatever is under the "Band" tag AND under "Album Artist." (It concatenates Band and Album Artist, and that is what it shows as Album Artist.)
Is this a bug? or have I overlooked a setting somewhere?
Thank you.
p.s. It looks like the program gets confused if tags are edited in Picard (Mutagen) even when I strip out all the multiple atom tags for flat tags (values on one line, each separated by a semi-colon). Oddly, MusicBee also creates multiple atom tags for Artist, which I wasn't expecting since it doesn't allow them for Genre. It could be I have to keep track of which tags are safe for same-tag multiple atoms in MusicBee and which in Picard, but they also might have different ways of doing same-tag multiple atoms.
