mythmusic and multi-artist (COMPILATION_ARTIST) albums
|
|
Hi dudes and dudettes.
I have a whole bunch of Ogg Vorbis files on my hard drive that were
grandfathered in to the Myth box. I told it to scan for new music, and
it picked them all up, but my tree is artist/album and all the
multi-artist albums are predictably one song per artist.
I have discovered that mythmusic, when ripping to Ogg Vorbis, creates a
COMPILATION_ARTIST tag. I tried setting this tag on my multi-artist .OGG
files and re-scanning, but nothing happened.
I went in with MySQL and fiddled a couple tables like so:
UPDATE music_albums AS a, music_songs AS s
SET a.compilation = 1
WHERE a.album_id = s.album_id AND s.filename like "%arious%"
But This doesn't feel like the Right Thing, and for all I know, the next
scan will undo this.
What's the correct way to tag .OGG/.MP3 files with a compilation artist
and have mythmusic pick up on it? "Through the GUI" is not an option
for me, it would take months of repetitive GUI navigation.
Thanks in advance,
Neale
