Just wondering whether its possible to get the MusicPlayer.AlbumArtist info label as opposed to MusicPlayer.Artist? I've tried it with 10.1 and it doesn't seem to work...so I guess that may already answer my question
Anyway, the reason I ask is that I use cd art in my MusicVisualisation that is obtained from a path like so:
That works just fine for most stuff with standard artist/album layouts such as
/Volumes/Music/Foo Fighters/Greatest Hits
However, I have a few albums where the artist on a particular track differs from the album artist, e.g. the album artist is "Magnetic Man", but the track artist happens to be, say, "Magnetic Man feat Katy B". That obviously breaks the code above and fails to find the cd art bacause my layout is:
/Volumes/Music/Magnetic Man/Magnetic Man
and NOT
/Volumes/Music/Magnetic Man feat Katy B/Magnetic Man
I'm temporarily hacked it by creating the latter folder above for the cd art, but was wondering if there was a better way...?
