Is there an artist alias feature?

Post by ed.j »

Is there a function that will group or associate different aliases of the same artist together?

Let's say the artist Cocoina, which is an alias of Coco Bryce
https://www.discogs.com/artist/4237203-Cocoina
https://www.discogs.com/artist/1488101-Coco-Bryce

It would be very cool if when I searched for Coco Bryce, the Cocoina tracks also came up. I'm aware that I could put a "master" alias in the tags HOWEVER that would mean that you'd always have to search for the master alias, thus defeating the point.

Have had a poke around but don't think I can see or recall anything like this.

No, there is no such thing in MediaMonkey. You could use Original Artist or Involved People to add the information, but MediaMonkey itself is not aware that an Artist has different aliases.

OK thanks. Problem with those fields is that they are a many->one function whereas this would need many->many.
