Hi,
Sorry it's taking me ages to do this patch, but my free time is kinda
changable just now.
Here is my Multi Artist patch, updated to use the "compilation" flag (I
was inspired to crack on with this due to the Metadata editor patch
which also uses this flag although cannot write it to the file's actual
metadata yet!!). Thor also advised this it would be a good idea to use
this flag.
I changed quite a lot in this patch from the pervious one (including a
few variable names and such) so apologies if I've done something stupid
in the process!
Oh and there are a couple of #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H in the flac related
headers as this is the only way I've found for this to compile on my
setup (flac-1.1.1-0.beta1).
The patch is attached here as version 0.6:
http://www.mythtv.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19#c5
Probably best to read comments 5 and 6 at least.
It's not finished, but if people could give me some updated feedback I'd
be apprecative.
As noted in the bug report above, I use ID3v2 TPE4 for indicating the
compilation artist and "MIXEDBY" for Vorbis Comments (It's just what I
started using ages ago, but I suspect this will change due to peoples
recommendations).
Oh, there is also a trivial MusicBrainz tag in there to indicate that
the track has a separate "album artist" to the track artist, but that's
about it so far for MusicBrainz support.
All the best
Col.
