[QUOTE="reagan+carter, post: 80555, member: 24635"] thnaks for the tip, but as far as I can see in the latest SVN MP code, no class handles the specific album artist tag (cf MusicTag object for instance). Neither does the code interfacing the music databases I was able to find. both the Artist name of a track and the Artist responsible for the *compilation* CD where this track comes from are merged into one generic Artist tag. i.e. [url]http://www.amazon.com/Miss-Kittin-Radio-Caroline-Vol-1/dp/B000088NTC/sr=8-1/qid=1159723166/ref=sr_1_1/102-3697867-2124150?ie=UTF8&s=music[/url] The album name is "Radio Caroline", the DJ/selector is "Miss Kittin". Each track is correctly labeled in FreeDB with its own and original Artist, not "Miss Kittin" who is only mixing them. [url]http://www.freedb.org/freedb_search_fmt.php?cat=rock&id=2511a714[/url] Audioscrobbler then wrongly tries to find a fanciful album when I want to play the second track of the album, from "Delarosa & Asora".
