Enhancement requests: album art and compilations about mp3fs HOT 2 OPEN

I got your point... Checking my collection I noticed the same: Compilations/sampler have different setup. Some with ALBUM ARTIST=Various, some without this field.

In my opinion ALBUM ARTIST=Various is the best solution to mark something as sampler, due a missing/empty field implies "unknown".
This is realated to my ticket with modifying fields on the fly: #16

from mp3fs.

I meant to reply to this sooner; sorry.

1. This could happen, but not really super soon. As in, maybe before the end of 2014. I've actually had a lot going on, new job, moving, finishing old projects, etc, so I've had to push mp3fs down in priority a bit. I like the idea though, because it is wasteful to store the album art multiple times identically.
2. This one would be lower priority than 1. COMPILATION isn't something I see really documented, and actually there's not really a specification for what Vorbis (FLAC) tags are valid. I personally use
   ALBUMARTIST=Various Artists for all compilations. This is the standard followed by MusicBrainz, and works well for my usage with iTunes. This seems more likely to be something that would become possible with a general tag mapping facility that may or may not appear in the future. I would personally recommend modifying the tags in your FLAC files.
