Hi, I've got a problem on tagging. I want to tag an album of 2 artists (A and B, for example) with the purpose of viewing in my smartphone's music player, going in the section "ALBUM ARTISTS", this album in the A page and in the B page. Long story short, I want to see this album in both album artists' pages. How can I do it? Please help me because I really don't try a solution for this problem and it's a week that I'm trying to solve, but without results. Many thanks to who helps me 🙂 ---

Simplest way: make a copy of the album and use ALBUMARTIST (this is the proper name for the field in MP3tag) A for one copy and B for the other. Provided, your player supports any of the other options ... Create a multivalue field of the field ALBUMARTIST and enter A into the first and B in the second field of the type ALBUMARTIST. Or: Enter both names in the same field ALBUMARTIST but separate them with semicolon-blank `A; B` (WMP supports this mechanism for the fields ARTIST, COMPOSER, GENRE - I am not so sure about the ALBUMARTIST as I would assume that there can only be one.) But as it is hard to tell which method is supported by your player, you have to try it anyway ... ---

I tried to create 2 fields of ALBUMARTIST. In the first A and in the second B, but mp3tag put these due values in a only field "A\B" and it doesnt work on my player A; B doesnt work. Creating a copy of the album is strange because doing like this i've got 2 files for each song of the album and i dont want that ---

> [@Massimo](#): > > fields of ALBUMARTIST. In the first A and in the second B, but mp3tag put these due values in a only field "A\B" and it doesnt work on my player This is the normal way in which MP3tag displays multivalue fields - you can check that you have actually 2 (or more) of them when you open the extended tags dialogue (alt-t) where you should see separate fields. The other problem are of course the short-comings of your player's feature set . If the player does not support any of the tag solutions and the copy solution is none for you, then it looks to me as though your requirement cannot be met. ---

I think that a number of players would support one the described techniques for other fields than ALBUMARTIST. You could try the same for ARTIST. I know that at least Windows Media Player supports the "semicolon-space" separator to list a title or album for each artist separated in that way. For ALBUMARTIST this feature is currently not implemented. I think that iTunes supports 2 separate fields. Each player seems to be different. So perhaps a little experimenting would do. The first experiment showed that it does not work for ALBUMARTIST. What about ARTIST? ---
