Summary0005122: Podcasts: Tags from downloaded episodes are incorrectly rewritten sometimes
DescriptionAs reported here:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/staff/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=viewticket&ticketid=3368

In case of this podcast feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/BuddhistSocietyOfWaDhammaPodcast
the Artist and AlbumArtist are in tags, but are missing from the feed info (also Author feed XML tag is missing). In such a case we use feed title as Artist/AlbumArtist, but if the info is in tracks' tags then we should not overwrite the info.

1. It is more valuable info than the feed name
2. iTunes does it the same way
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build1208

Ludek:
Please recap the current status of episode tagging rules. Seems to be several changes in 3.1.

I also need specific confirmation that no tags are modified in the downloaded episode file if the Global/Subscription option is disabled.

At the moment I am in the position of trying to infer them from test results. Would be better to test to specs. This will also let me ensure the information in the Wiki is correct.

Requested recapitulation:

1. If '[x] On download, tag episodes based on data from Podcast feed' is checked:

  if feed.summary <> '' (is not empty) then
    track.Comment = feed.summary
  else
    track.Comment = feed.description
  if feed.author <> '' (is not empty) then
  begin
    track.artist = feed.author
    track.AlbumArtist = feed.author
    track.composer = feed.author
  end;
  track.album := feed.title
  track.Genre := 'Podcast'

2. if '[ ] On download, tag episodes based on data from Podcast feed' is unchecked then the feed values above are assigned only if the track values are empty.
