Description Conrad 2013-01-13 19:11:35 UTC

If a vorbis-tagged file does have multiple artists amarok only recognizes the first artist. By the vorbis tag specification the possibility of having multiple ARTIST tags is possible and encouraged: http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html (see section "Implications")

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. metaflac --set-tag="ARTIST=artist1" --set-tag="ARTIST=artist2" file.flac
2. open file.flac in amarok
3. be sad
Actual Results:  
amarok only recognizes artist1 as artist

Expected Results:  
amarok recognizes tagged available artists

Because Amarok doesn't handle vobis tags, it only uses id3 tags. Moving to wishlist.

Comment 2 Conrad 2013-01-13 21:21:59 UTC

that's weird because it reads and writes vorbis tags with no problems on my gentoo system and I could not see any special patches. (well, yes, except some limitations like this)

Comment 3 shaddowy2 2013-02-22 01:03:30 UTC

I think Amarok reads & writes vorbis tags, but only the first artist, genre, etc tag.

To me it seems your report is a duplicate of the following wish: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119539
It was reported in 2005 and has a lengthy discussion of a possible implementation.  Ralf Engels stated there he already began to work on it.
I too would like to see that feature in Amarok :)

Thank you for spotting this, I marked it as a dependency rather than a duplicate, as it is for vorbis tags, not id3
