Title Formatting Problem --moderation: about %album artist%

I've recently upgraded my Foobar to version 0.9.4.4, but I'm experiencing a small issue I can't resolve.

In order to recreate my usual "working environment", I've ported my preferred Title Formatting (kudos to creator !) via copy and paste the configuration string in the "Playlist" Tab of "Title Formatting" Module, but there is something that is not working as I would like.

This link http://www.putfile.com/bonejazz/images/150072 shows what I'm trying to explain: picture 083 is the visualization I expect, while picture 0944 shows the "issue".

To make it brief I can't understand the presence of Artist Name before the Titletrack and how to make disappear that. I guess 0944 visualization belongs to "Various Artist" scenario, but I'm not sure because I never used it and I don't have any V.A. album to test.

Some futher info:
Album is in one directory with this scheme: Artist - Album (Year)\Tracknumber - Tracktitle, and tracks are separate files all tagged (Artist=Marc Cohn, Album=Marc Cohn, Date=1991, Genre=Rock).
Anyway, even using an image file with cuesheet (and/or a disc with Album Name not equal to Artist Name) doesn't change the result.
I'm using "Default User Interface" (neither ColumnsIU nor PanelsUI interfaces and components are installed) and basic installation; the only changes are Colors and Font (Lucida Console 8) in the "Playlist Appearance".
Here below the Configuration String I'm referring to:

So I'm asking to the experts here if there is someone that is able to help me in solving my topic.
I've tried to search in the forum, but everything seems point to discussions about sophisticated (and beautiful) visualizations with ColumnsUI/PanelsUI, and even the oldest posts (2005/2006) would seem not helping me.

Maybe the solution is very simple, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for your support (and I'm sorry for my bad English).

Title Formatting Problem --moderation: about %album artist%

Reply #1
The problem is caused by the new field remappings in foobar20000 0.9.

Your script uses - among other possible indicators - the %album artist% expression to check if an album has various artists. In 0.9, %album artist% does not only check the field with the same name, but also "artist", "composer", and "performer". Since your tracks have an artist tag, this expression evaluates to "true" and thus causes the script to display the names of the (supposedly) various artists in front of the track titles.

To resolve this problem, replace each occurrence of %album artist% by $meta(album artist).

Note that I haven't checked for other possible reasons, it's just the most likely one.

On a sidenote, the writer of that code had a serious $putsfimmel.

Title Formatting Problem --moderation: about %album artist%

Many thanks Frank, now it works !!

So in case of VARIOUS ARTISTS, tagging should be:

ALBUM=Soul Power
ALBUM ARTIST=Various Artists
ARTIST=Aretha Franklin
TITLE=Think
GENRE=Soul
YEAR=1991

with an EAC filename scheme as:

%D - %C (%Y)\%N - %T --> Various Artist - Soul Power (1991)\01 - Think



PS: what does it mean "fimmel" ? is it a synonymous for flame ? (anyway I've understood what you mean...)

Oh, sorry about that.

Fimmel is the German word for mania or fad. It's a pun on "Putzfimmel" (mania for cleanliness).
