I was about to have another whinge about every ripped cd being catalogued under artist and I found the following helpful post:

You can thank (or better swear at) the inventors of the ID tagging system for the composer-as-artist-problem because they origjnally left no field for composer. As a consequence early taggers of classical albums put composer in the artist field - assuming most people were more interested in composer than in artist. It's an album database problem not a Media Monkey problem.
Bearing that in mind, is there any chance of a teeny weeny bit of code in the future that allows us to tell MM that Artist and/or Album Artist = Composer. For me, as a classical nut, Composers always come first and I only really need the artists with different recordings of the same music.

In the Filelisting you can use any column (in List View) and in the Media Tree you can check out Custom Nodes.

For MM5 there is an Addon: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... ap-fields/
That could cover your need.

Re: Artist[s] to be Composers
Thank you for this. It certainly makes life easier, but being greedy, I look forward to MM doing that when I rip a cd

"Swap Fields..."
Can also be used BEFORE ripping.

Thank you for your help for a very dim user of MM
