Title: %<artist>% tag includes composer
Post by: jrswanson on 2006-03-27 01:41:52

I have an album list view set up using the %<artist>% feature. The view works as expected but it is also showing Composers in the view. I have a seperate view for composer (and a seperate tag.) Most of the tracks that show up under a composer don't even have an artist tag. I have also prefixed the view with $if([%artist%]... so that tracks with no artist shouldn't show up at all.

Is there any way to tell Foobar that artist and composer should be treated as completely separate?

Thanks

I'm not sure, but you could try using $meta(artist) instead of %artist%.

Use $meta_branch(artist) (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Titleformat_Album_List#.24meta_branch.28name.29), if you don't want to use field remappings, but still want to have a separate entry for each artist.

Hey thanks! That looks like it is working.
