Doubled entries and showing artist - eusii - 06-26-2021

Hi all,

My girl created some mp3 files out of a CD with mixed songs. 
That means each song contains a different Album, Artist, Year etc.

After adding this folder of mp3-files to Moode Audio it looks like this:

I want to address two issues:

1. Why are all the entries doubled (can I disable them)? 
One with a cover and no time, one with the track-number and the time...

2. Is it possible to enable the Artist?
Since every song has a different artist, I am even more interested in the artist than in the song actually...

If you answer both questions with "no" then it is probably because MoodeAudio focuses more on a "album view-type" (like: one folder, one Artist)?

Thanks a lot !

What you have is a compilation album. Try tagging the tracks like below.

Code:
TAG          VALUE
----         -----
Artist       Artist name
Genre        Genre name
Album        Assign a name for the compilation for example "Mellow Mixtape"
AlbumArtist  Assign the string "Various Artists"
Track        Track number
Title        Song title
Date         Four digit year
Time         Length of the track in seconds
Comment      Here is where you can assign the original Album name if desired

Changing all to the same AlbumArtist fixed issue 1. Nice, thank you!

Regarding issue 2: Is it possible to display the Artist also?
For example the typical way: "Artist - Song"

Hi,
In the Library/Tag view you can see all all artists, their albums and the tracks of a single album including the singer of a song.

Hope, that helps.

What is the purpose of the compilation flag-tag, or what behaves differently and how?

I’ve just finished tagging a bunch of classical albums, about half of which had this set by default (which I cleared). Now I’m getting ready to rip actual compilation discs and I don’t want one-off artists and orphaned songs cluttering up the interface. Any other advice for keeping this as compact as possible?

There is no "compilation flag-tag" in moOde.

If you set Artist to the track artist and AlbumArtist to "Various Artists" or similar, then use AlbumArtist in Tag view artist under the Preferences menu you'll be free from one-off artist clutter.

Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed to know.
