Hi,
I am using 5.04.2690
I edited all my metadata using AudioRanger. About 42,000 songs.
I did this on an external USB drive and verified it imported correctly into Media Monkey the way I wanted.
All "Album Artists" and "Artists" tags were "LastName, FirstName" & "Name, The", etc...
For Various Albums, I used a Generic Name for for Album Artist.
For example, the "Now Music Collections" I used "Now Music" as Album Artist, not Various.
This placed all the Albums in a "Now Music" Album Artist folder if I searched "Now Music"
I could also find a specific Artist on a compilation that was the "Artist", because the Artist was left as the canonical name.
This all worked perfectly until I moved the folders to a NAS drive.
If I look at the individual song .FLAC metadata, the metadata is all in tact and correct.
I disconnected the USB drive and have that off-line now.
I cleared the MediaMonkey database and rescanned the NAS drive.
Now when I open "Artist", it pulls in every combination of Artist Names, Composers and Artists.
Is there a way to create a filter that is only the "Album Artist"?
I've tried creating a custom, but is doesn't seem to work.
Thanks In Advance.
