album view doesn't display some songs in an album

[euri10]

apparently the songs in an album where the artist has a feat. are skipped, dunno if it's he reason but it seems to be the common point here. happy to provide more info on this, using 1.07.2 Final ba27d2a-c (54) from the playstore if that has some kind of relevance

Album view, misses song 7 and 8 for instance:

File view, it has song 7 and 8:

ncmcpp has then too:

What's the albumartist tag of these files ? If you disabled albumartist or the tag value isn't "joey bada$$", I think it will be filtered out, as the artist filter is an exact match

I tag with beets, the fields displayed by its ls command are $track / $tracktotal - $album - $albumartist - $title - $artist The artist tag is indeed not "Joey Bada$$" for the missing songs but "Joey Bada$$ feat. xyz". Nonetheless I expected when browsing by album to see all songs of the said album, why filter ?

An album is defined by its artist name and album name: if we didn't do that, we would show unrelated songs if two artists had the same name. For example, a "Best Of" album would be pretty unusuable.

In your case, songs with "feat" showing up would be a bug.

Handling user-defined tags is really tricky :)

I don't want to be nitty picky and will shut the fuck up if you disagree but :)

Would there be any drawback in using 'albumartist and album' instead of 'artist and album' to define what mpdroid displays as an album ?

that would solve my feat issue and most likely "best of" album of artistA and artistB would be differentiated the same as albumartist and artist would be the same.

The only occurrence where it would be an issue is when artistA has 2 "best of" albums.

you should try beets to tag, that's awesome ;)

[abarisain]

Whoops, I misread the output, sorry. Your files are tagged correctly.

About albumartist: that's what we do! It should be the default settings. If not, that's a bug.

Can you take a look at your settings and check how the albumartist setting is configured?

(Albumartist is supposed to be used for sorting/filtering/etc..., and artist the artist we actually show you)

[euri10]

is that the setting your talking about ?

well, now I'm at work and the album has all the songs....so no bug anymore !! the difference from when I was home is that I'm not on my private LAN through wifi anymore. I'll check tonight if I'm still having the issue connected differently, sounds strange I didn't update MPD db...

[euri10]

sorry I still have the issue, in fact I could see all the songs while pressing "go to album" from the currently playing song, but from the Album dropdown I misses the feat.

You might not be using the local album cache. That is needed to make albumartists work properly, specifically in the list of albums, because otherwise they are listed/called by artist, not by albumartist.

[abarisain]

Yeah that's probably the issue.

If you go from the artist rather than from the album list directly, it should work too

[euri10]

Yes, from the artist then album I see all songs. Directly from the album dropdown it's not the case.
