Since i want the "main artist" aka artist1 to appear in MusicBee's "Aritst" column/thumbnail browser rather than a comma delimited list i have used the script $set(Display Artist,$rreplace(%artist%.

The album artist is typically identical to artist1 For tracks with featured artists this will appear in Artist as a typical multi-value list artist1 artist2 etc I'm using MusicBrainz to copy ArtistS to Artist. Ok after a little experimentation i believe i've found the sweet spot but i have a problem. I dont want to be running with two libraries tagged differently for different devices so trying to find a happy medium. Conversely, MusicBee which i use on my laptop can deal with a single entry in Artist and featured artists in for example Guest Artist. Asset doesnt recognise ArtistS so you have to put all featured artists as a multi-value list in Artist. For example i use Asset UPNP or Minimserver as my DLNA music server on my NAS. I'm trying to find a happy medium for my mp3's that are played on different devices/software. If you're syncing to a phone or something, that could have undesirable results You could just put them all in artist, of course. Or if you want to search for cases where someone is a guest artist instead of primary artist, it lets you do that. But there are official Id3 tags for Artist and Remixer and Performer, so if you wanted to keep guest artists from cluttering up those tags it will do that.

Well, the guest artist tag by itself doesn't do anything. Just loads the album artists biography etc. I guess i was hoping if i switched the thumbnail viewer to Artist: Guest that clicking on any contributing artist would load their details in Artist Biography/Artist Pictures but it doesnt. I just ran your script on a test album in picard and sure enough it works to give a single Artist and a list of contributors in Guest Artistīut i cant actually see what Guest Artist is used for in Musicbee over a list just in Artist What is the benefit in using Guest Artist over tagging Artist with multiple values?
