| Summary | 0008614: Auto-tag from Amazon: 'Various Artists' albums sometimes not found | ||||
| Description | If the user looks up a set of Tracks with: Album='Album' and Album Artist='Various' -->the Auto-tag from Amazon dialog looks up 'Album' as expected But for Album='Album' and Album Artist='Various Artists' -->the Auto-tag from Amazon dialog looks up 'Various Artists'! Apparently, the problem is that MM limits the size of the query to Amazon, so that the Album isn't included in the query in the second case. Net effect is that it often fails for Various Artist albums. Can this be tweaked? | ||||

Rusty, I don't understand what you mean or I cannot replicate. Here is what I do: Selected tracks of album 'Cafe Del Mar 5', album artist is 'Various Artists', pressed Ctrl+L => the album is found, the text in the search combo box is 'Various Artists - Cafe Del Mar 5' |

OK, upon further testing it seems that the issue isn't totally consistent (i.e. some 'Various' albums fail to lookup (because the search term changes to e.g. 'Various Artists') and some 'Various Artists' albums do lookup correctly (i.e. the lookup is for Various Artists - <Album Name>). Please see the video below to better understand the problem: http://screencast.com/t/Ix1GG5wbp |

I couldn't reproduce on the 'Pulp Fiction' album, but then I realized that your track titles includes also artists, i.e. it is in the form 'Artist / Title' instead of 'Title'. Therefore MediaMonkey considers the results as non relevant, because string similarity of track titles is too different. Based on this it tries to search again with the first artist (not album artist) and it is in your case 'Various'. |
