[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 797973, member: 11220"] AIUI this is how the id3 standard is defined but not all players support standards. My thinking is that album artist is where you would find the album in a shop (where samplers would be under "various artists"). The artist tag can then be used to say who is on the track. As for DJ mixes, they are the same. They should be tagged with various artists and then DJ added as artist (or one of the non standard tags that MP currently does not recognise) What problems do you encounter with having DJ A and DJ B ? (I know MP will show this as two albums but it has to; take "greatest hits" without an album artist you can not split albums by tags Just wondering what others do for DJ mixes as most software does not cope with them too well.
