They are multiple artist entries, but in the Display Artist they are separated by a semicolon:
ex. : displayArtist="My Artist [JAPANESE]; My Other Artist [OTHER JAPANESE]"

no, there is no solution for multiple entries per tag right now. but you gave me an idea how i can improve LR (also, to take into account your case). though, not sure when i make this improvement.

Thanks, no worries, it's not like it's urgent

i'm not sure if there is a workaround for this, i must think about this more, but firstly i need to know how Japanese artist names are formatted in <artist> tag, i.e. are they separated by comma, or by comma followed by space, or by semicolon, etc.?

They are multiple artist entries, but in the Display Artist they are separated by a semicolon:
ex. : displayArtist="My Artist [JAPANESE]; My Other Artist [OTHER JAPANESE]"

Incidentally, would it be possible to be able to resize the Multiple Artist Splitter window?

hello, calderino. yes, it's possible. i'm not sure if you mean "artist" or "album artist" tag, i will suggest using "artist" tag. also, you can use any virtual tags instead of <virtual3> and <virtual4> in my example.

1. define <virtual3> as:

Code

$If($RxReplace(<Artist>,".*\[(.*)\]$","$1")=<Artist>,,$RxReplace(<Artist>,"(.*)\[.*\]$","$1"))

<virtual3> will show translated part of artist name if Japanese part is present (otherwise <virtual3> will be empty).

2. define <virtual4> as:

Code

$If($RxReplace(<Artist>,".*\[(.*)\]$","$1")=<Artist>,,$RxReplace(<Artist>,".*\[(.*)\]$","$1"))

<virtual4> will show Japanese part of artist name if it's present (otherwise <virtual4> will be empty).

3. create Library Reports preset: define 2 groupings: virtual4, virtual3.

this preset will show every unique combination of Japanese artist name and translated artist name, sorted by Japanese name, so you will be able to easily see if there are several translated names for every Japanese name. 1st line of report wil be empty, ignore it, it corresponds to all artists which don't have brackets in their names.

Thanks for this. I was not aware of what Library reports did!
One last question, if there are multiple artists in the tag, virtual4 only uses the last japanese name.
How can I adapt the virtual tag to take into account several artists?

Hello,
I want to know if this is possible to do with the plugin:

I have my Japanese artist defined as "Translated Name [Original Name]", for example "Hashimoto Yukari [橋本 由香利]".
I want to find typos in the artist names by comparing the Japanese part of the tag and then comparing the English part.

Example:
Let's say I have a file with artist="Hashimoto Yukari [橋本 由香利]" and another one with artist="Hashimoto Yukaro [橋本 由香利]"
I want to check which artists have the same Japanese artist (in this case both match with 橋本 由香利).
Then, I want to compare the English part and have a result if they do not match (Hashimoto Yukari != Hashimoto Yukaro)

Basically, a reverse "Split" button.

MusicBee Wishlist / Be able to right align rating and duration in view

« on: July 23, 2023, 03:07:14 AM »

I am using a view based in the Album Cover view (I believe), and I would like to be able to keep the rating right aligned regardless of the title length.

MusicBee Wishlist / Save ratings to external file

« on: July 23, 2023, 02:40:52 AM »

Would it be possible to have the ratings stored in an external file, like it is done with the cover.jpg?
Something like ratings.txt

When seeding torrents, the hash of the file needs to stay the same, and rating the tracks changes this.
I could store them in my Musicbee database, but I would prefer to have them outside of the Musicbee ecosystem in case of an issue (and to keep backups easier).

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Auto-create auto-playlists

« on: July 09, 2021, 09:10:31 AM »

Out of curiosity, may I ask how exactly you are using these auto playlists?

Yeah, I rate the songs and have the auto-playlist with the ones rated >3.
I collect a lot of anime soundtracks and have a lot of CDs that contain no music tracks (Drama CDs for example), so the auto-playlist allows me to filter those out.

MusicBee Wishlist / Auto-create auto-playlists

« on: July 07, 2021, 03:27:25 PM »

I like to have an auto-playlist for each Album Artist I have in my library.
Nowadays, each time I add a new Album Artist I have to create a new auto-playlist (or duplicate an existing one).

I would like to have a mechanism to automatically manage these auto-playlists.
LIke "for each AlbumArtist create this auto-playlist".

I still believe somehow the tags were being fetched from an internet source.

I "fixed" in the most stupid way possible.
I reorganised the files into another folder, deleted the files from musicbee, renamed the folder to the old name and readded them.
I don't know why it did that but it seems that the japanese title does not appear anymore...

Maybe some kind of tag database search (musicbrainz or equivalent)?
Seeing as the names match: https://musicbrainz.org/release/f1c390ce-72b1-4d93-ac8e-4005ce2d85a5

But I don't know what triggered it.

Thanks for your help.

I removed all the tags with mp3tag and the japanese title still appears... 

Did you maybe misread where I said mp3diags?

Sorry I skipped all the steps I took.
I checked with mp3diags, nothing out of the ordinary. I still applied all the "fixes" to see if there was something invisible. -> no change
I deleted all the tags of the file with mp3tag, no change.
I also verified the files with a tool called mp3val (gotta test them all), nothing.

One thing I just noticed however, is that if I add the same files from another path, the characters do not appear. So it does not seem to be a problem with the file?
