Single album appears as double

[mirthestam]

It looks like I am having a problem as a result of 'Get list of unique album tags, grouped by albumartist'.

I have an album where I have defined 2 album artists. In classical music, this is totally feasible There are 2 solists performing.
However, only the first artist gets shown in the Artists list. However, the album now appears twice.

It does appear correctly in ncmpcpp or other clients for that matter.
Expected behaviour:

• Both artists shown in artist overview
• Single, instead of double entry of the album

This is the album: https://www.discogs.com/de/release/20523673-Anne-Gastinel-Claire-D%C3%A9sert-Chopin?srsltid=AfmBOooFMXW7E0dLPA5xJLP0OQNCAFuIzk9agqKryqtFWlXHD_U4UDp8

Do not confuse 'Chopin' as an artist. The album is titled 'Chopin'.

My album tags:
Artist: Anne Gastinel; Claire Désert
AlbumArtist: Anne Gastinel; Claire Désert
Album Title: Chopin

To be honest, I do not think the solution for merged albums is a correct one.
For example, artists do have sometimes have albums with the same name even though they are different.
I think, you should use the unique identifier as differentiator, instead of the grouping by album artist.

If there is none, I think you should accept that the original issue exists. The current way, you are changing expected MPD behavior and replacing one problem with a new one. Whereas the problem should be fixed in MPD instead of the client :).

Of and if the conclusion is you want this behaviour, in that case the app should treat the group of album artists as a key, and not per entry :)

I found this example of another client having the same problem. They made the behavior optional.

I'm suspecting the tracks in your albums may have differing albumartist tags?

Euphonica is designed to work with MusicBrainz's tagging convention. Should your album have multiple artists, please

• Put them all into one albumartist tag using common delimiters like commas and semicolons. Multiple delimiters can be used, for example with classical albums we usually put the composer first, then a semicolon, then performers, conductors and orchestras separated by commas.
• Use that same albumartist tag for all tracks within that album. Each track may have its own artist tag that differs from other tracks, for example when a track is performed by only a subset of the artists in the albumartist tag.

With the above, Euphonica can unambiguously detect that all of the above tracks fall under one album, regardless of how they're organised in your filesystem, and still split the tag up for the Artist View.

The delimiters to use are customisable via the Library tab in the Preferences dialog, in case you need to add your own.

* Put them all into **one** `albumartist` tag using common delimiters like commas and semicolons. Multiple delimiters can be used, for example with classical albums we usually put the composer first, then a _semicolon_, then performers, conductors and orchestras separated by _commas_.

* Use that same `albumartist` tag for all tracks within that album. Each track may have its own `artist` tag that differs from other tracks, for example when a track is performed by only a subset of the artists in the `albumartist` tag.

Thank you for your reply!

No they do not. Yet, I did not include the composers in the Artist and AlbumArtist tags.
All AlbumArtist and Artist tags, for every track, are the same.
