Hi guys, after nearly a decade away i've decided to do some more work to a skin i was working on way back.
I've just run into an issue with the ID panel, i'm trying to set up an IF= ALBUM ARTIST,ARTIST,no return,ALBUM ARTIST line
For testing i'm using; $ifequal(%album artist%,%artist%,YES,NO)$crlf()
AA %album artist% | A %artist%
The return is what has me confused,
If 'album artist' and 'artist' tag fields match, YES returns, that's fine, if i had no issues beyond that, i'd just remove it and make the NO; %album artist%.
However, if the track's AlbArtst field is empty ID will allow "%album artist%" to read/pull from the Artist/%artist% field.
this is the return on a track with Artist filled, Album Artist not;
Yes
AA Nine Inch Nails | A Nine Inch Nails
This is the return on a track with both fields filled and matching
Yes
AA Linkin Park | A Linkin Park
And this is one with both fields filled but different
Yes
AA Eminem | A Cas$his
But i can't get a NO return, which is what i want
If AA and A match, then no return, otherwise name the AA
Changing the track's %artist% tag and saving instantly reflects in the ID Panel where %album artist% is called.
I've combed through foobar and the 4-5 Stack Splitters the ID panel is within, but i can't find whatever i must be looking for in the way of some kinda 'FIND album artist, if nothing FIND artist' command or line, i also don't know how %album artist% came to be the only 'tag caller' with a space in it, anything else is last_played, play_counter, album_version etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read
