Hi,
Is it possible to somehow recognise VA albums by the fact that the Artist
field in the tags change for one album? In other words, can I somehow
remember track 1's artist in a variable and then compare it to track 2's
artist and if they don't match assume that the album is a VA album?
Thanks,
dev

No, not in a TagZ script.

OK, that's slightly disappointing, but I'm still not giving up.
How about this - if the comment field of the tag is set to "VA" the album
is recognized as a VA album? I've tried the following
$if($strcmp(%comment%, 'VA'), is_various=1)
counting on
$if(%_is_various%,%_artistv%|%_artistvs%%artist% '-' )
to pick it up, but it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
dev

%fieldname% notation is for tags only. You can use variables in a script with the $get() and $puts() functions (see titleformat_help.html for details).

Ah, I see now. Thanks a lot for your indulgence.
