Currently, I have this under Compilation on foo_dop: $if($stricmp($directory(%_path%,2),'Various Artists'),1,0)
How do I change that code to make it so that as well as putting mp3s I have in my Various Artists folder into compilation, it will display the tracks on my iPod as "Artist - Title" ?
Artist:
$if($stricmp($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)),$meta(artist),$meta(album artist))
Title:
$if($stricmp($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)),$meta(title),$meta(artist) - $meta(title))
Compilation:
$if($stricmp($meta(album artist),various artists),1,)
That's what works fine for me - it'll map the album artist to the artist and put the artist into the track title if artist and album artist don't match; plus it'll mark all files with an album artist of "various artists" (ignoring the case) as a compilation.
Hm, I've tried using these mappings, and the result is that the only artists that appear in my artists field are those that have an %album artist% tag... Everything with just a regular %artist% tag is blank. Any ideas? Did something change in the component that would not allow for this?
