Title: [x] [2670] Album artist repeated twice
Post by: walruster on April 08, 2025, 14:19:02

Hello, thanks for a nice music player!

However, there is something wrong with how album artist is displayed for my particular music tags. The album artist name is repeated like so: "Danny Brown;Danny Brown".

This is shown in the main interface (see danny.png) and when inspecting the tags in the Tag Editor (see tag.png).

The tags are curated by Beets (https://beets.io/) with no custom settings. There are indeed repetitions with multiple tags set to "Danny Brown" (ALBUM_ARTIST, ALBUMARTISTS, etc are all present) but no tags contain the concatenated "Danny Brown;Danny Brown".

I have recently switched from Foobar to AIMP. There was no problem displaying the name in Foobar for these tags.

Is AIMP reading two of these identical tags and concatenating them with a semicolon?


Here's a full tag dump from Mediainfo:

It should not concatenate the artists in this case. Can you share one of the tracks that has an issue?

Certainly, here's a small file.

I believe it is concatenating the "performer" and "album artist" tags.

File contains duplicate tag values:

Code: [Select]

ALBUM ARTIST=Nicolas Jaar
ALBUM_ARTIST=Nicolas Jaar

What why it repeated twice. I think I should make my code more smart and ignore any duplicated values

Yes, and I don't know why this is the default of Beets. Maybe they want to support all possible tags that different clients and players would look at?

I have read the source (https://github.com/beetbox/beets/blob/master/beets/autotag/__init__.py) but can't tell why or how exactly this is configured in the autotagger.

Thanks for having a look at ignoring duplicated values!
