Hi
I am a new convert to runeaudio and have struggled my way through getting my hardware setup working. It's not yet perfect but is usable - I'm able to play all my digital music collection and stream my favourite online station - Radio Paradise. Now I'm having trouble with some of the details.
As a preface to my questions below, I should say that I have tagged my music collection quite completely and consistently. I have used Album Artist for sorting (using Foobar on my desktop) and ignore (track) artist so it may be filled in inconsistently. I have defined my own set of genres and use them consistently.
So I have some questions about the origin of the tags that end up in the MPD database. For example:
1. after I have a lot of new strange genres of the form (0) or (0)Blues etc. There are about 20 of them. As far as I can tell, the artists that are in these (number) genres are also in the genres I have specified in my library. Can anyone tell me why/how these strange genres appear?
2. is there some way to force MPD to use Album Artist only - i.e. ignore (track) artist
Thanks to all who imagined and created this great product. Once I gain some more experience and knowledge I plan to contribute in some way - probably in documentation.
