Featuring Artist - User 107776 - 2012-11-13 Hi everyone First off thanks so much for a brillant product! I've just bought my very first HTPC, installed OpenElec and I love it! Now, I am in the process of properly tagging all my music to get a nice clean music library and it got me thinking. Is there a way to discriminate between a song that has two artists (eg. Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman - Something Stupid) and a song that has an artist and a featuring artist (eg. Eminem feat. Dido - Stan)? I know that I can tag a song with two artists (eg. "Robbie Williams / Nicole Kidman" or "Eminem / Dido"). However, I would very much like to differ between a normal and a featuring artist. Now I got myself the source code and had a quick look at it and also at the MySQL database structure. So here comes my feature request: How about distinguishing between an "artist" and a "featuring artist"? As far as I can tell, it wouldn't be that much of a change. I believe these would be the necessary steps:
What are your opinions about this? I have to admit, I haven't checked the id3 specification yet, whether there is a possibility to properly tag a featuring artist. So maybe, there would be another possibility.... update: This is from the id3v2.4.0 specification at http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames Code: TPE1 So I guess a featuring artist would go in TPE2? Is xbmc extracting/displaying the TPE2 information in any way? update2: I found, that TPE2 is interpreted as the albumartist by xbmc which is probably a good thing to do. Especially as taggers like picard do the same. |
