`artists`, `albumartists`, and `genres` with picard about gonic HOT 11 CLOSED

Thank you so much for the prompt reply.

I've just sent you a msg, as requested.

As for the env vars, I created a second gonic container just for testing this issue. That's the reason it shows only 2 albums. And yes, I've been doing a complete scan each time I change some metadata.

thanks :~D ill keep the issue open then because it would be great if you could share your findings on setting these tags for other users of gonic and picard

from gonic.

haha that's a funny coincidence. but great, ill consider this done then since gonic doesn't care about _sort tags yet

from gonic.

can you email me an example file that has multiple tags? email is on profile. also, after setting the env vars, you need to do a "full/slow" scan from the admin UI for gonic to see the changes

from gonic.

@alscaldas hey thanks for the file ive checked them. it seems like "albumartists" is not set, "artists" looks good (Raul Seixas, Marcelo Nova), and "genres" is missing. however "genre" is there and has the multiple values. can you try set "albumartists" and "genres"?

oh interesting, picard seems to use "albumartist" as the multi valued tag, unlike beets

would

$setmulti(artists,%artists%)
$setmulti(albumartists,%albumartist%)
$setmulti(genres,%genre%)

work?

which is

 $setmulti(artists,%artists%)
-$setmulti(albumartists,%albumartists%)
-$setmulti(genre,%genre%)
+$setmulti(albumartists,%albumartist%)
+$setmulti(genres,%genre%)

from gonic.

Hey @sentriz , it seems to be working now!

Btw, your suggestion worked partially. I mean... genres worked perfectly as you suggested, but if i use $setmulti(albumartists,%albumartist%), as the original albumartist field I have is "Raul Seixas & Marcelo Nova" I don't get "Raul Seixas" and "Marcelo Nova" as 2 different entities as I want. So I believe that I have to edit them manually.

I guess I had completely misunderstood the concepts here. As I think I don't have these fields (genres, albumartists and artists) I'll have to add them myself (probably manually) to my library?

from gonic.

hm honestly i'm not entirely sure about how to do that with picard. gonic is expecting the format of the tags to be like how beets does it

the files you send are correct but only for artist. other two are missing (just need an s)

i think there should be a way of automatically doing that with picard?

EDIT:

oh maybe not. it seems they dont have an "albumartists" field available https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/downloads/MusicBrainz_Picard_Tag_Map.html

I sincerely hope there's a way, because my files don't seem to have these tags. This artists you saw is there because I tried that Picard tag script yesterday when I noticed the issue and begun my testing. It didn't exist originally...

Anyway, that's my homework now. Now that I understand what's going on and what I'm supposed to do it's time to do some research.

I sincerely appreciate your help. You've just acquired a new user to this nice project of yours. :)

if it's useful to help test btw, the latest/master version of beets.io does this out of the box

@alscaldas does $setmulti(albumartists,%_albumartists%) work? from https://community.metabrainz.org/t/multiple-album-artists/532302

@alscaldas does $setmulti(albumartists,%_albumartists%) work? from https://community.metabrainz.org/t/multiple-album-artists/532302

@sentriz Yep, it apparently works.

And btw, I hadn't seen this specific thread yet but they coincidentally discuss two of the albums I was having trouble with. this one and the one from Neil Young and Crazy Horse I used here as an example.

I'll have to do some testing (I'd like to see how it behaves with the 'sorting' tags), but I believe this will work in most of the cases:

$setmulti(artists,%artists%)
$setmulti(albumartists,%_albumartists%)
$setmulti(genres,%genre%)
