Bug - Album Header Lists Incorrect Artist

Post by WitzyZed » Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:39 pm

I have Neutron set to sort Artists List according to the Album Artist metadata.

Seen here, we'll be digging into the Album Artist -> OVERWERK.

Seen in the bottom right is the album titled 'Vessel' by OVERWERK.
This is labelled correctly, regardless of whatever artists are input into the tracks metadata, Album Artist is correctly shown (otherwise it wouldn't be found here)

Seen here, upon clicking into the album 'Vessel' its listed Artist in the heading is no longer simply 'OVERWERK' but has been obtained from the track #1's Artist metadata info, NOT the Album Artist tag (this is the bug).

Album Artist tags for all tracks are identical in mp3tag.
Neutron just seems to be taking the first track's artist tag and duplicating that for the header info.

Minor annoyance, if that. But just pointing it out.

Yes, in the track list and the playing now screen the artist is shown, not the album artist :

Thanks for your reply!

Is this normal or intended? Of the 3 screenshots you've shared only the 2nd one illustrates what I'd think was abnormal behavior. I would expect the playing now screen to list exactly what you've shown, the artist label for now playing. It's just once you drill down to the track list of an album the header uses track #1's artist tag info instead of Album Artist that should be (and is) present for all tracks.

Yes, you're right, it's the artist of the first song that is shown as artist for the album :

E.g. for folders the name of the folder is shown :

artist6.jpg

So one would indeed expect the album artist and not the artist of the first song ! Feel free to contact neutronmp@gmail.com and ask whether they deem this to be a feature or bug.
