Artist(s) vs Album artist(s)

[Gregski]

Why the two fields that is so confusing. I noticed that when a RIP goes south and you have to fill in the fields manually, filling in the Artist(s) field does put the Unknown songs under the Artist folder however when you fill in the Album info nothing happens (in other words the Album sub folder is not created) until you also fill in the Album artist(s) field as well. That is weird?

I have not tried to fill in the Album field at the same time as the Artist(s) filed, maybe that works, but I know doing them one at a time does not. Bug maybe, who knows?

There are two fields because sometimes an album will have different artists on it, such as featured artists. Or on a compilation many people people put "Various Artists" or "VA" as the album artist.

Interesting so how would you enter something like The Family Values Tour '98 CD? According to your instructions "Various Artists" would go into Album artist(s) right? So what artist goes into the Artist field, if you say "Various Artists" as well then you have just made my point or reassured my question of why are there two fields if they are the same?
