[QUOTE="mr_poopyhead, post: 1089878, member: 26315"] There are a bunch of files in my collection that have the artist tag form: Artist1 feat. Artist2 the problem in MP is that when i use the Artist view i get: Artist1 Artist1 feat. Artist2 Artist1 feat. Artist3 So when I want to listen to all tracks by Artist1, I select Artist1... however, this now excludes all the tracks that feature another artist, since MP treats those tracks as a separate Artist I can only find 2 solutions to this problem: - retag all my files with separate tags for the 2 artists (not really a good solution, since the "feat." thing is pretty standard and I used musicbrainz) - use the albumArtist view, but this isn't good either, because now any track that Artist1 has on a compilation album (Various Artists tag) is also excluded from what I want to listen to... is there a way to get MP to consolidate all the similar Artist tags into one entry? like, ignore everything after "feat."? Thanks [/QUOTE]
