Description Bruno Léon 2013-08-19 15:49:51 UTC
All files with "Album Artist" properly filled will result in an empy Album artist within amarok.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tag a Musepack file with "Album Artist"
2. Scan it with amarokcollectionscanner
Actual Results:  
The field is blank in the XML output

Expected Results:  
The "Album Artist" should be read and used by Amarok.

Well, the APV2 tag container format is not officially supported by Amarok so that is a wish.

Oh, nice. Can you explain why the string must be all upper case?
Comment 4 Bruno Léon 2013-08-19 19:00:43 UTC
Actually I deducted it from taglib source code.
I'm no C++ programmer so this was a bit of luck though ;-D

taglib/ape/apetag.cpp
// conversions of tag keys between what we use in PropertyMap and what's usual
// for APE tags
static const TagLib::uint keyConversionsSize = 5; //usual,         APE
static const char *keyConversions[][2] =  {{"TRACKNUMBER", "TRACK"       },
                                           {"DATE",        "YEAR"        },
                                           {"ALBUMARTIST", "ALBUM ARTIST"},
                                           {"DISCNUMBER",  "DISC"        },
                                           {"REMIXER",     "MIXARTIST"   }};
