Mulitple music artists in audiodb ID field?

[diaz1510 154]

I've recently been really organizing my music collection and using emby as my media player/organizer for it (MP3tag and Tag&rename are the tag editors I use).  Anyway, I love the way Emby auto-populates alot of the info but there are a few instances where it acts glitchy.  For example, it will pull artists info off of audiodb (and musicbrainz) for my artists and will also show the albums they are in.  But for a few albums where artists are collaborating, it can't link those albums to the artists.  For example:

 

- I have an "E-40" folder....listed within are all his albums, ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST tags are both "E-40".

- I have a "Too Short" folder...listed within are all his albums, ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST tags are both "Too Short".

 

They have done some collaborative albums (not individual artists with "Featuring..."), so for those I have an "E-40 & Too Short" folder with those albums within, ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST tags are both "E-40 & Too Short".

 

Now, I know there are ways I could organize those albums in either one of their folders, but then it wouldn't be truly representative of the album, and I would sacrifice one of the artists being listed.

 

What I'd like to do under the metadata for those collaborative albums is be able to add multiple artists within the audiodb id and musicbrainz id field so that when I click on E-40 under the artist tab, all his albums, to include the collaborative ones, show (and also remove the "E-40 & Too Short" artist) as well as those for "Too Short".  Is this possible and if so, what is the syntax?

 

Hope I wasn't too confusing.  Thanks in advance

@@diaz1510, yes it's a good idea to allow multiple id's but currently there's no way.

 

For your shared artist and albumartist fields, i would suggest tagging them as such:

E-40;Too Short

Then we support parsing that based on the semi-colon and Emby will know that these are two different artists.
