Description
I use the following to encode and tag flac files:
-V -8 -T artist=%A -T album=%d -T title=%n -T tracknumber=%t -T date=%y -T performer=%a -T genre=%G -T description=tgnb -o %m %w
Notice the seperate fields for artist and performer
This is useful for ripping CD's where the disc's artist is a DJ (Paul Oakenfold, Fatboy Slim etc) but they are mixing songs by various other performers.
Rhythmbox currently only supports the "artist" tag used to identify the artist of a CD but not that of a track. Thus it is not possible to display the performer of a track if it is not the same as the disc artist. It would be useful to have the option to display the track's performer also.
