Artist vs. Album Artist

Post by honecker44 » Thu Dec 23, 2010 9:32 pm

Hi all,

I currently use PlugPlayer 3.4 in combination with Twonky Media 5.1 on a QNAP NAS. Following situation:

1. There is an album with various artists (a sampler).
2. The id3 tags of all tracks of that album are as follows:
- Artist = individual artist who sings that track
- Album Artist = "Various"

When playing that album, PlugPlayer shows "Various" as the artist of every track (instead of the individual artist). I tried to use a different UPNP-Server (JRiver MC) and everything was showed correctly. So I assume that to be a bug in Twonky Server.

Cheers,
H.
