Re: Musicbrainz ARTISTS tag
Nothing uses the tag 'Artists', you can add this field to the database and create an entry: artists, but you would be better in the long run using a batch tag processor to move artists to artist.
dBpoweramp should be able to do it with the 'ID Tag Update' utility codec from Codec Central, use batch converter to convert all your music to this 'encoder' it will process the ID Tags, set the map artists >> artist
Try on a few tracks first.
Re: Musicbrainz ARTISTS tag
Understood, thanks clarifying and the prompt reply. Its ok i will be able to bulk retag quite easily in MP3tag and modify my workflow for new files should i decide to commit completely to AUPNP.
I may come post some more questions as i continue my trial analysis.
Regards

Hi @spoon, if i were to add "artists" to Asset is the process the same as [url]https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?41577-how-to-add-new-field[/url]
Still testing to find the tagging method that best suits all devices/software

Hi Spoon,
I tried to add artists to my AUPNP config files but it didnt work. I entered
[U]Into AssetUPnPDefinedBrowseTreev6[/U]
Artists{_a_to_z_}{_no_track_list_}
Artists\Album
[U]Into MediaDatabaseFieldsv5[/U]
t_artists,3,INTEGER
As you can probably guess i have no idea what im doing. Can you help please?
Re: Musicbrainz ARTISTS tag
The de facto standard is to use [B]Artist[/B] which is supported by every player and server that I've tried. So why complicate things?
Re: Musicbrainz ARTISTS tag
It is likely this tag cannot be used in Asset, as 'Artist' would match and would be used.

In a word... preference

Ok i understand now, thanks for clarifying Spoon. Is there any scope for AU to use these extended tags in the future?
Although i don't use it (yet but i may be back in the future to try/buy) i believe your dbPowerAmp ripper does lookup from Musicbrainz
I am impressed by AU by the way.... i know i have been asking a lot of questions during my trial i have decided to purchase :) good job
Re: Musicbrainz ARTISTS tag
It is unlikely we would specifically make this change as nothing really uses Artists. It is like 'Genre' is the standard, everything uses it, and it would be silly to suddenly use 'Genres' instead.
