Prefer %albumartist% over %artist% #16

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Can you please make this option in config? If there's a way to configure this in cmus settings, can you please point me in the right direction?

I see these formatting options: 

 format_current
 format_playlist
 format_playlist_va
 format_statusline
 format_title
 format_trackwin
 format_trackwin_album
 format_trackwin_va
 format_treewin
 format_treewin_artist

which one does cmusfm rely on?

Hi, I've just pushed changes which will allow to scrobble albumartist ID3 tag. However, this will work only with cmus compiled from fresh master snapshot (this commit is required).

which one does cmusfm rely on?

Cmusfm does not rely on any of these options. Cmusfm uses its own configuration, and to be quite honest it is not the best idea to allow user to prefer albumartist over artist or the other way around. Albumartist ID3 tag has well defined meaning, and it is supported by the last.fm API.

Please, check if logic in the current master of cmusfm (and current master of cmus) meets your expectations :).
