Title: How to tag Various Artists Albums ?
Post by: coffee on December 26, 2013, 10:24:21 AM
Can someone help me with this please?

I'm changing my library for all my compilation albums but I'm a bit lost here.

My structure looks like this:

Now ->
       Volume 24->
                         Clown - Emeli Sande.avi
                         Hello Sweet World - Gangs Of Ballet.avi
                         I Will Wait - Mumford & Sons.avi
                         Hit 'em Up - Xtatic Ft AKA & Priddy Ugly.avi

Now in the Non-MP3 Tagger I've changed "Clown - Emeli Sande.avi" to (%1) Artist: -> Emeli Sande,  (%2) Song Title: -> Clown and (%3) CD Title/Album Name: -> Now.

My problem is that in the tracklisting it doesn't show any fanart anymore but it does show in play options when you have selected a track. What do I need to do to get fanart working for Various Artist?


My second problem, how do I tag tracks featuring a main artist and a featuring artist or two? For example, Hit 'em Up - Xtatic Ft AKA & Priddy Ugly.avi
Do I need to tag it like this, artist + featuring artist for the artist entry (Xtatic Ft AKA & Priddy Ugly)
or
Main Artist only for artist and Track name + featuring artist for track name (Hit 'em Up Ft AKA & Priddy Ugly)?

???

I have mine set up like this coffee

Now 84
Will-I-Am ft Brittany Spears - Scream & Shout.mp4

I would imagine the fanart would be the same, I don't use the fanart feature so I cant really help on that one.

Thanks Glen
I have sort of figured it out but I still have issues. For some reason the first albums in a series name is correct but the last one in the series has the first track artist as the album name. I'm trying now to figure out what is causing this.

Make sure the featured artist is included in the track title not the artist tag and it will not show up as various. I normally include the feat artist in brackets in the title...

some artist - some song (Feat some other artists)
