Hey Guys, I've searched for a few hours now and can't seem to find any documentation on this. When tagging my files, I typically will list all the artists on an album in the ALBUMARTISTSORT field, each separated with a semi-colon. I do this so that in Foobar, the enter album will be listed under e…

[image] MusicIsSuper: I would have the following tags for every track: ALBUM ARTIST: Simon & Garfunkel ALBUMARTISTSORT: Paul Simon; Art Garfunkel; Simon & Garfunkel Why in the world would you want to do that? Then the artist 'Simon & Garfunkel' ends up sorted under 'P'? Makes no sense.

JJ Johnson: Why in the world would you want to do that? Then the artist 'Simon & Garfunkel' ends up sorted under 'P'? Makes no sense. The goal would be to have the release show up under Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, and Simon & Garfunkel. This is extremely helpful for compilations where each ar…

[image] MusicIsSuper: ... I found that thread in my searches. The last thread pretty much sums up my question: is there a script to automate this action? 1: $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Mp3tag.Report.CollectArtistsPerAlbum.txt',UTF-8) 2: $puts(Info,'This Mp3tag export script cre…

[image] MusicIsSuper: ...What about some sort of export, as you suggested? Some how export the artists from each track into a text file, separating each with a semi colon, then importing the result into one tag field. Can this be done? ... Yes, MP3tag can export the ARTIST to a text file. A…

Here comes a modification of the export script from before. While importing, the '\\' separated list of artist names will be automatically itemized and stored into a multi-value tag-field. 01: $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Mp3tag.Report.CSV.CollectArtistsPerAlbum.txt',UTF-8) 02: $puts(I…

Here comes another modification of the export script from before. The artist names are separated by the delimiter sequence "; " (semicolon+space). The list of artist names contains unique artist names and is sorted by artist name. 01: $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Mp3tag.Report.Collec…
