Showing only one artist in the tag
« on: October 29, 2013, 09:41:28 PM »
Hi. I have a Cowon D2 (my former X5 is dead), and when I play a song, Rockbox is showing me only one artist (Eg. : When I play the artist "Albert Collins;Robert Cray;Johnny Copeland", it only shows me "Albert Collins" i the tag). Can you help me please ? Thanks

Hum. That's interesting.

I can't say I have seen this before, but my tags are rather different. What tagging software did that? Usually the Artist tag is something along the lines of:

"Imaginary Johnson feat. Guy Who Doesn't Exist and That Other Guy".

Which I must say works fine.

Is because there's a multiple artist field in my tag ? Can Rockbox handle that ?

Not with semicolon separated values, apparently.

But that wouldn't be entirely surprising, as standard compliant tags only allow for / separated values and only then in very few tags...like, 4 tags total, or something.

Edit: Here they are:

TCOM Composer
TEXT Lyricist/Text writer
TOPE Original artist(s)/performer(s)
TPE1 Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)
