Hi folks,
I have a slight problem when scanning my albums. I have a lot of classical and jazz music, albums with multiple artists. To make it a little bit more complicated, I have tagged all my artists (Album Artists) with Last name, First name. I want to find Michael Brecker and Randy Brecker together under “B”, not “M” and “R”. This has worked well for some years now, except that the scrapers does not work. That I can understand.
Now, I added mbid’s to the albums, and it still works in most cases. But in some cases the artists are filed in the “normal” way. For example “Puccini, Giacomo” is filed as Giacomo Puccini. There is not tag in the files for this album that contain the name Giacomo Puccini. If I remove all mbid tags it works as before.
So my question is: How are mbid’s used when the music files are scanned?
