ALBUM ARTIST tag in database

(1/3) > >>

brimstone:
The database appears to have support for the ALBUM ARTIST tag but none of my files with this tag is recongnized as having it (tags are ID3v2.4 tagged by foobar2000). I have one file that has the BAND tag and it is recognized by the database as an album artist tag.

Does the database support the ALBUM ARTIST tag or do I have to use the BAND tag. My player is an H120 with the 070531 daily build.

What is the id3v2.4 tag name for your "ALBUM ARTIST" tag?  Foobar should be able to tell you that.  The "TPE2" tag is supported by rockbox and usually defines the 'performer' or 'band' (this is probably what foobar tells you is called "BAND").  Also "TP2" seems to be supported too.   I don't know what foobar thinks of as "ALBUM ARTIST" however..

Rincewind:
I don't know exactly, but I think that foobar2k uses a TXXX field with the name ALBUM ARTIST.
I would really like to have this supported in Rockbox, too. I know that it is technically not very hard to do, because TXXX fields are read in for replaygain anyway.
It looks like this is not the 'right' way for the Rockbox devs.  :-\

You are correct, Foobar2000 uses the TXXX frame for the ALBUM ARTIST tag according to the wiki at hydrogenaudio. The tag BAND is written to TPE2.

To solve my problem i just wrote BAND tags identical to my ALBUM ARTIST tags but it would be nice if the database supported ALBUM ARTIST in the TXXX frame.
