[ID Tag Update] R2

Re: [ID Tag Update] R2

At risk of being ejected from your Christmas card list, is it possible to reverse the Artist tag operation? I.e one tag with multiple artists to multiple tags?

Will add to the wish list.

These new options are really great. The 'title (feat. artist2)' is particularly useful when using Winamp as it's search capabilities don't consume more than one ARTIST tag.
Some feedback on the equally helpful "multi artist from artist1; artist2" (of which I have a lot). I'm using FLAC files that contain "ID tag [Vorbis Comments]. Also, I'm using Winamp > View file info... > Advanced. It seems to be the best way I can find to see the raw tag data.

OK, if a song has the frames:
[COLOR="blue"]ALBUMARTIST: ArtistName
ARTIST: ArtistName; Artist2Name[/COLOR]
after running "multi artist from artist1; artist2" the tag looks like:
[COLOR="blue"]ALBUMARTIST: Artistname[COLOR="red"]ArtistName[/COLOR]
ARTIST: ArtistName
ARTIST: Artist2Name[/COLOR]
It should check if AlbumArtist exists and not append if it does.

Also, it doesn't seem to work at all if ALBUMARTIST is something other than the first listed artist.
For example (from 8 Mile Soundtrack):
[COLOR="blue"]ALBUMARTIST: Various Artists
ARTIST: Eminem;Obie Trice;50 Cent[/COLOR]
After running "multi artist from artist1; artist2" the tag isn't changed.
Ideally it would come out like:
[COLOR="blue"]ALBUMARTIST: Various Artists
ARTIST: Eminem
ARTIST: Obie Trice
ARTIST: 50 Cent[/COLOR]

There also appears to be a bug in the "multi artist from 'title (feat. artist2)'"
[COLOR="blue"]ARTIST: Ashanti
TITLE: Body on Me (feat. Akon; Nelly)[/COLOR]
becomes
[COLOR="blue"]ALBUMARTIST: Various Artists
ARTIST: Ashanti
ARTIST: Akon; Nelly[/COLOR]
instead of
[COLOR="blue"]ALBUMARTIST: Various Artists
ARTIST: Ashanti
ARTIST: Akon
ARTIST: Nelly[/COLOR]

Regards,
Jeremy

That last example had some extra text, sorry. It should read:
[COLOR="blue"]ARTIST: Ashanti
TITLE: Body on Me (feat. Akon; Nelly)[/COLOR]
becomes[COLOR="blue"]
ARTIST: Ashanti
ARTIST: Akon; Nelly[/COLOR]

Re: [ID Tag Update] R2

Is it something I'm doing wrong or can you confirm it's a bug?
Sorry for the bump. :p

>ARTIST: Akon; Nelly

Yes the routine cannot sub split on ;

For your first point, I will have to mark down as a bug to look at when we are in that area again.

foobar2000 doesn't see "albumartist" tags, but prefers "album artist". This isn't your problem, of course, except that I can't write those tags.

I tried the following with ID Tag Update v2:

Code:

map "ALBUM ARTIST" -> "TEMP"
map "ALBUMARTIST" -> "TEMP"
map "TEMP" -> "ALBUM ARTIST" 
map "TEMP" -> "ALBUMARTIST"
delete "TEMP"

I hand typed in the "ALBUM ARTIST" tag, but it was writted to the tag "ALBUMARTIST", so now I've got two such tags, with the same info.

I tried putting the space version in quotes, and it didn't work.

So, my feature requests:

1. if the tag is quoted, don't auto-rename

2. add "Clear Tag" to list of map destinations (my tags in the test directory are now many multiples of each other - I can fix, but I think this would be useful from a scripting perspective to clear a field rather than first running "delete" then a second time for mapping

3. in explorer ID-Tag properties tab, if "ALBUM ARTIST" and "ALBUMARTIST" are both present and the same, don't list them as multiple artists (i.e. as "Beatles; Beatles")

4. allow me to save/load the script created

I hope these additions would improve the functionality of ID Tag Update. Thank you. :smile2:

dBpoweramp Configuration >> Codecs >> Advanced >> set the album artist tag to which ever you prefer.
