![]() This raises the question of how elaborate the rename masks can be - could I branch on the value of isclassical and then do completely different things for classical and nonclassical recordings? And putting the performers into the artist field instead of the composer, as you say, is good. If the composer isn?t in Album Artist, leave it alone, maybe it?s the performer.įor orchestral recordings, if all tracks have the same Artist, removing the composer from Album Artist and putting the contents of Artist into Album Artist would still be helpful. It seems like for solo albums, if all tracks have the same Artist, taking the composer out of Album Artist and putting the Artist into Album Artist would usually work. ![]() Sometimes left out so that the composer?s name appears only in the album title. ![]() Sometimes the composer?s name appears only in the album title.Īlbum Artist: For solo albums, the performer or the composer.
