'Album artist' doesn't work

[rockito]

'Album artist' in Asset UPnP doesn't show anything. With puddletag I tagged my files first with 'albumartist' and second 'album artist'.
What have I done wrong?

Do the tagged files display album artist correct when opened directly in a audio player app (e.g. Foobar2000, mediamonkey etc)?

Is the album artist tag populated as expected in another tagging app such as mp3tag?

Hmm, Guayadeque shows the Album artists JRiver Media not.

I tried that, the result seems Ok for me:

hexdump -e '16 "%_p" "\n"' --length 2000 ***.mp3

Could 'TXXX.album artist' interfere with TPE2?
No, there are MP3, OGG and FLAC. But for all of them album artists are not shown in AssetUPnP and not in JRiver.
And what should I convert it into?

Re: 'Album artist' doesn't work

Ah, excuse me! You are right - I really deleted 'album artist' from MediaDatabaseFieldsv7a.txt! I've forgotten why - I tried different things.
Now this works! But in 'puddletag' I have to tag 'albumartist' not 'album artist'. That's confusing.
Thank you very much for your help!

But there's another problem with 'album'. It's the last level, but there's also nothing shown here.
But 'album' is the first entry in MediaDatabaseFieldsv7a.txt.
And there is also 'album' in puddletag. And like you could see above there is 'TALB.......The Future Sound Of Jazz.' in the tag.

Re: 'Album artist' doesn't work

I think it's already right? But I can't see the album.

Re: 'Album artist' doesn't work

I see all the album artists. And if I select one, there's only empty space.

Thank you very much, simbun!

But now it works. As I reentered the album artist in the MediaDatabaseFieldsv7a.txt, 'album' was above 'album artist". Maybe 'album artist' overrides 'album'?
Strange - but after changing positions it works!

Now it's perfect!
