Fantastic old patch: browse directories using id3 tags

<< < (3/4) > >>

inrobert:
I think my directories names are similar to album artist tag.
For example foobar2000 displays the \Howard Shore\ directory and inside it I can see individual songs (title - artist derived from filename or id3 tags):
Evenstar - Howard Shore featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian
Forth Eorlingas - Howard Shore featuring Ben Del Maestro
Foundations Of Stone - Howard Shore
Gollum's Song - Howard Shore (performed by Emiliana Torrini)
Isengard Unleashed - Howard Shore featuring Elizebeth Fraser & Ben Del Maestro

or \Bryan Adams\
All For Love - Bryan Adams (with Rod Stewart and Sting)
Back To You - Bryan Adams
Can't Stop This Thing We Started - Bryan Adams
Cloud Number Nine - Bryan Adams
Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? - Bryan Adams
Heaven - Bryan Adams
Here I Am - Bryan Adams
I'm Ready - Bryan Adams
On A Day Like Today - Bryan Adams
Please Forgive Me - Bryan Adams
Run To You - Bryan Adams
Summer Of '69 - Bryan Adams
The Best Of Me - Bryan Adams
When You're Gone - Bryan Adams (feat. Mel C)

or \Ian Gillan\
Loving On Borrowed Time - Ian Gillan featuring Steve Morse and Uli Jon Roth
No Laughing In Heaven - Ian Gillan featuring Roger Glover and Ian Paice
Smoke On The Water (promo) - Ian Gillan

or \Myslovitz\
Good Day My Angel - Myslovitz (śpiewa Ian Harris)
Good day my angel - Myslovitz
Kraków - Myslovitz vs. Marek Grechuta & Anawa

or \Yugoton\
Gdy miasto śpi (snem kamiennym) - Yugoton & Kasia Nosowska
Malcziki - Yugoton & Kazik
Rzadko widuję cię z dziewczętami - Yugoton & Kasia Nosowska & Paweł Kukiz
W sercu miasta - Yugoton & Grzegorz Nawrocki

bascule:
OK, now I understand. Actually what you are doing is not browsing directories at all, it is browsing a 'virtual' folder tree and that is functionally identical to Tag Cache. However, Tag Cache does not support the 'Album Artist' tag (assuming that's how yours are displayed).

So in your example using Tag Cache (also assuming the Artist name you are displaying comes from the Artist tag) then the following would all be separate artists:

Howard Shore
Howard Shore featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian
Howard Shore featuring Ben Del Maestro
Howard Shore (performed by Emiliana Torrini)
Howard Shore featuring Elizebeth Fraser & Ben Del Maestro
Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams (with Rod Stewart and Sting)
Bryan Adams (feat. Mel C)

etc...

Without retagging 'Bryan Adams (feat. Mel C)' to plain 'Bryan Adams' you are out of luck with Tag Cache, unless you are willing to try one of the workarounds. It will be worth reading the following threads on the subject if you're still interested...

That's exactly the point why I don't use TagCache at the moment. Without Album Artist everything is messed up because of Compilations ans stuff like that.
And I don't like converting tags everytime I put music on the player.

bascule:
Each to their own on this one, I guess ;)

inrobert:
Can developers say when they are going to add album artist or directory name to the Tag Cache? :P I was thinking of this kind of workaround that bascule has mentioned in this topic: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7367.0 but maybe there's no time to rush, maybe this useful feature will be added soon :) (please ;D).
