Artists and Genres - CityZen - 2014-07-12 I am having problems with Artists and Genres. Artists When I list by Artists I get all the artists, when all I really want is Just the Album Artists. I tried the compilation setting but that didn't make any difference. I get all the featured with artists etc, I just want the Main Artist. I realize this will cause all my compilation artists to show up as various, but that works for me. Genres Similar sort of problem, how do I get the Genre list just to show the main Genres, not the combines ones. Eg I want the list to go: Acid Jazz Acoustic ... I use MediaMonkey to keep my music clean (have done so for years), I am using ID3v2 tags with ASCII + UTF-16 (when needed) as my main settings. Hope that makes sense, have done google but nothing gives a clear/obvious answer. RE: Artists and Genres - scott967 - 2014-07-13 For genre, mediamonkey uses "; " as a separator but XBMC uses " / ". You maybe can fix with advancedsettings, but I gave up and converted all ID3 tags to APE since APE uses multiple tags, not separators. scott s. . RE: Artists and Genres - CityZen - 2014-07-13 Thanks Scott Do you mean you converted your music to the APE format or you just did the tags? If just the tags how do you do that? I have had a look at advancedsetting and decided to leave it as a last resort. |
