![]() Also, it is just a different way of doing what needs to be done: organise your music files. But in that case you would do away with album art (after all, in the above example, which album cover would you show when playing We Will Rock You? The FLAC can only contain one embedded front-cover image.) and you'd need to decide what to do with special versions (single-cut on a collection album or from the CD single versus the album version). Or you could have all the songs in a single folder and use playlists to represent the albums. So, the de-duplication feature is really much more for people who listen to songs rather than albums and who are somewhat tight on disk space. Of course, that means one of the two albums now no longer has a complete list of songs in its folder on the drive. So, if you have "We will rock you" on for example "Queen: greatest hits" and "News of the World", then it will find a duplicate and remove it. The way it works is it will find duplicate songs and giving you the option to delete the duplicate. There is no more an album artist sort tag for Artist 2 listed.Be careful with the de-duplication function in PerfectTunes. PerfectTunes will substitute the former two album artist sort tags by only one album artist sort tag with the content "Artist 2, The".Īt the next start of PerfectTunes we will see the follwoing situation: If I assign a new value for one of those artists, i.e. Both artists are listed in the album artists tag and in the album artist sort tags. Imagine the following situation with just one album recorded by two artists "The Artist 1" and "The Artist 2". This leads to the situation, that PerfectTunes will now report an inconsistent value for "The Artist 1", namely:īut "The Artist 1" hasn't been touched at all! And "The Artist 2" has still one album artist sort tag assigned: "Artist 2, The".Īn even simpler example to understand the problem: PerfectTunes will insert a single album artist sort tag in the ID3 tags with the content "Artist 2, The". ![]() If I assign a value for "The Artists 2" now like In the album artist sort tag view of PerfectTunes ID Tags we will see two artists/lines: No album artist sort tags assigned so far. ![]() Imagine the following situation with just two albumsġ.) Album named "Album 1", with only one album artist: "The Artist 1"Ģ.) Album named "Album 2", with two album artists: "The Artist 1" and "The Artist 2" Would have different sort values depending on which album it was on.I agree with you totally, but that is not the problem. It does not make sense that an album artist of: substitute only the album artist in the album artist sort tags who has changed and keep all other album artists in the album artist sort tags write a new album artist sort tag, if there has been none before and fill in the new assignment for the changed artist plus all the other album artists of the tag "album artist" What I would expect from a users point of view is: I didn't investigate the other tags (was a bit to experimental for me and my data), but I guess, that the algorithm and result will be the same. substitute the whole album artist tag with the new assignment for the changed artist only, if the album artist sort tag existed before (all other album artists are not in the tag!) write a new album artist sort tag, if there has been none before and fill in the new assignment for the changed artist only (all other album artists are not in the tag!) and I like to assign a value for the tag "album artist sort" for one of them, more than one album artist for an album Ok, in the last two hours I tried my best to understand the logic but now I came to a point where I would say with all respect, that the logic / algorithm in PerfectTunes might be faulty. What shall I type in in the field ""? And what is the filed "" for? So what I would expect and like to have is, that "Prince New Power Generation, The" and "Prince Revolution, The".Ĭan I get it by PerfectTunes ID Tags? And how?Ĭlicking the arrow just copies the left album artist in the the new album sort artist, but that's not what I want. So what can I do? What should I do? What does PerfectTunes expect me to do?Īs far as I understand, the tag "Album Artist Sort" can have multiple values. Prince is an album artist in combination with the album artist "The New Power Generation" for one album, as well as in combination with the album artist "The Revolution" for another album. I've set "New Power Generation, The" as album sort tag for "The New Power Generation", and "Revolution, The" for "The Revolution".Ģ.) The next time I've used PerfectTunes, I saw the hint that there are inconsistent values in combination with "Prince". Have a look at my attachment to understand the following:ġ.) I.E. Maybe I'm too dumb or I'm too smart for this tool but I don't understand how to use PerfectTunes ID Tags in case of inconsistent values.
