Hi everyone,
I already searched the forum a bit but did not find the answer to my (probably simple) question: When does foobar recognize an album as an album? Or how can I tell it that a couple tracks (with different artists) all belong to one album? My concrete issue: I have a number of albums with various artists (aka samplers). The individual tracks are tagged with the different artists, but each album has the same Album Artist and Album Title tags in every track. Shouldn't they then be recognized as whole albums, isn't this what the Album Artist tag is there for? Foobar, however, still shows me the albums as several albums, one for each artist. The files are FLAC, in case that matters... Cheers, Sodof |

$trim only removes spaces. It will not do anything to alter the presentation/interpretation of fields that are defined but empty (i.e. zero-length). The fact that sodof observed the desired literal square brackets but with nothing inside may indicate that album artist is one such field in the affected files.
