Wish: support for multiple performers #565

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
MPD already supports multiple performer tags and MusicBrainz provides them.

Being able to see and search for performers on individual tracks would be 
really nice for people having lots of Jazz in their collection. There, the 
sidemen are often just as interesting as the main artist and they are not 
included as artists.

You can use the search tab to search on all MPD's fields. The 'search' in the 
artists/albums views is more like a filter - as in it only really works on the 
displayed strings.

Currently the toolips, and table views, only show one performer - I can update 
this to support more (separating via a comma (like genres))

Yes, please, support for multiple performers would be great.

I'd prefer to have performers used for filtering in every view, not just the 
search view. But that's a minor inconvenience at most.

Do you use trunk? If so can you update and check now?

Yes, I do use trunk. I just rebuild and at a first glance the concatenated 
performers work nicely. Thanks!
