Full Version: Album Artist: What about for same artists with different names?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Searching brings up so many results concerning "Album Artist" and compilations..
But what about artists that use more than one name?
For instance, these albums:
  • The Twelve Caesars - Youth is Wasted on the Young (Original name)
  • Caesars Palace - Cherry Kicks (Official name)
  • The Caesars - Paper Tigers (The name they use in the US for legal reasons)

All albums from the same band, but different name for each one. So, a different Artist tag for each album, but since it's the same band, I use "Caesars Palace" as the Album Artist.
They don't appear under "Caesars Palace" in library view. They appear under their respective Artist tags.
Is there a way to make KODI use the Album Artist tag globally, not just for compilations?
I don't think so. Just looking them up on Musicbrainz and they are all under "Caesars Palace" as the Artist.
