I recently updated REACT to Synthetic Soul’s Mod and am having difficulty getting the “Album Artist” field tagged. If I recall correctly on my last install, I modified the image.cfg with the TPE2 frame to the artist. For some reason I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong this time as I do not have my previous .cfg file to compare.
Here is what my image.cfg looks like:
IF NOT @ImageExt@==mp3 GOTO end_lame_image
SET dest="@ImageDir_MP3@%imageDir%"
IF NOT EXIST %dest% MKDIR %dest%
IF %embed_cover%==1 SET Cover_tag=--pict "{3}@cover@"
@tools@\lame.exe @Opt_LameMP3@ %ApplyAG_Lame% "@source@" "@image@"
@tools@\metamp3.exe %Cover_tag% %VA_tag% %Disc_MP3% --artist "@artist@" --album "@album@" --track @track@/@numtracks@ --title "@title@" --year "@year@" --genre "@genre@" --comment "@comment@" --frame TENC:"LAME @Ver_LameMP3@" --frame TPE2:"@artist@" --frame TSSE:"LAME @Ver_LameMP3@" "%TrackName%.mp3"
IF @ApplyAlbumGain@==1 @tools@\metamp3.exe %ApplyAG_MetaMP3% "@image@"
MOVE /Y "@image@" %dest%
MOVE /Y "@cuesheet@" %dest%
IF %have_cover%==1 COPY /Y "@cover@" %dest%\"@basename@.jpg"
:end_lame_image
And this is what I get in return when pressing F10:
TITLE 01/10 mp3 "Some Other Country" & C:\MP3FIL~1\EAC\tools\lame.exe -V 2 --vbr
-new --noreplaygain - "01 - Quiet Life.mp3" & C:\MP3FIL~1\EAC\tools\metamp3.exe

What am I missing here?
On a side note, I’m trying to fully understand the power of Synthetic Soul’s REACT mod, but cannot seem to figure out what kind of lines to place in it, where, and what those results would be. Can someone point me towards a post that has some description of what it can accomplish?
Thanks for all the hard work everyone here has done!
