Hi,
i’ve a problem with featured artists.
I’ve selected the option “Add all contributing artists to the artist field” and “Add all contributing album artists to the album artist field” but songkong doesn’t add it to the artist field or delete it if it’s present (for example if i had added it manually)
It’s a bug or i do something wrong?
Featured artists
These options effect what SongKong does with the artist credits when a match is made to MusicBrainz, i.e does it use all the artists in the artist credit as the artist/albumartist or just the main artist.
It is not affected by any manual edits you make, does that make sense ?
watch this example:
https://musicbrainz.org/release/0135fccb-377a-4938-9ff8-044f5e4fc175
after the rip, i’ve modified the musicbrainz release by entering the feat. artist on track 9 and with Jaikoz i immediately matched my files to this release.
With this operation Jaikoz added the information of the feat. artist to the track.
Yesterday i did a massive tag updating process on some of my albums with SongKong and this removed the feat information. artist
In SongKong can you send you run Create Support Files please.
done!
Okay, its because SongKong uses data from Albunack, which is much faster and more reliable but is a cached version of MusicBrainz and Discogs so can be a month out of date. You modified track 9 on MusicBrainz on 28th May, so we don’t have that change yet.
In fact i had thought of it after opening the topic.
I take this opportunity to ask again if it’s possible to make visible the date of the last update on the albunack page.
In this way misunderstandings can be avoided
Yes it should be done, but the date shown on http://reports.albunack.net/mbartist_discogsartist_report2.html is usually about right regarding MusicBrainz data
Perfect!
This information date of the last update belongs to the entry page of albunack
http://www.albunack.net/index.jsp
Yes I know but the reports pages are recreated every time we update Albunack, the index page is not so slightly more difficult to put in there.
