Contributing Artist v Artist

Post by Davo »

The tooltips indicate that Contributing Artist is artist only & Artist is Artist & Album Artist.
This doesn't appear to be the case as the Album Artist - Various Artists is included in the Contributing Artist node.?

Hi,
You can disable/modify MM behavior of ignoring the Prefixes under Tools -> Option s-> Library -> Fields.

@Peke
I think you have misunderstood my query which is not about the prefix.
My question is - If the "Contributing Artist " is only Artist & not Album Artist why does it display Various Artists which i only use in the Album Artist field

Are you sure you don't have a single Artist value with this value? I found that when a single Artist has the value, that it will show both Artist and Album Artist matches in the node, once the Artist value was removed, the node disappeared too.

Thanks, You are correct. Forgot that i used Various Artists a few times when the artist was unknown.
