skwire, you are da man!!
I love this program.-superboyac
Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
I'm thinking about the various artists issue. I'm going to run into that also. But it depends on how people tag these files. I would think that most people have the "album" tag the same for an album with various artists. Now, how do you deal with all the different names under "artist"? Well, one thing the program can do is if it detects multiple artists for the same album name, it can assume that all of those are together, and either say <various> in the artist cell, or actually list all the different names (but that might be long and ugly looking).-superboyac
Well, that's where the so-called "ALBUM ARTIST" tag comes in.
The problem with that is the situation where two different artists name an album the same thing. Especially with stuff like "Greatest hits". So, in a case like that, maybe the program can THEN check to see if the files are in the same folder. But then what if you have the folders split into 'Disc 1" "Disc 2"...so the folders will be different, but it's really the same album? ugh...this can get complicated. but not impossible! i can do this...give me time.-superboyac
Agreed, there are a bunch of different scenarios that could occur so, at best, anything you do will be imperfect. However, to give you peace of mind, Album Printer does handle "different artist with the same album name" issue. It combines the artist name with the album name and uses that to compare against its list. So, in other words, "Artist_A - Greatest Hits" is considered different from "Artist B - Greatest Hits."
