| | Vista MCE not reading Artist Tags properly (Mediaplayer in compari Hi, I've spent several hours to sort out my mp3 albums. After trial and error for some time, I've believe there is an unresolved issue with Vista MCE and how Artist tags are read. If I have an album that contains Various artists, the artist name can be say Artist X with Title X, Artisty Y with Title Y, but on the Album Artist both will be set to Various so that both artists end up under the same Album, basically one Icon. Having different names on the Album Artists tag for X and Y will cause the system to create one Icon in albums for every Artist... (you don't want that...believe me). The problem is that under artists, I don't get the artists name, but a number of various. If I press one of these albums, still no artist. It's only when I press the proper song in the album, that the artist name pops up. Now there is a category (like album, genre, years and even the defective artist) which is called album artist, but it shows the same listing as artist. So something is not working properly. I might add that it actually seems to be media player that creates a database which Vista MCE seems to read from. Mediaplayer however seems to take the info the right way. Looking at artist, I get the name of the artist X even thouh he is set as various in Album Artist. Anyone getting this? Fixes? Someone from Microsoft to comment on this? |
