Compilations

[rpedde]

I have not. My wife and I are in the middle of a house purchase and move, and we’re in boxes up to here. (You’ll have to imagine I’m gesturing to somewhere in the vicinity of my chin).

The work we were supposed to be doing this weekend fell through, so it turns out I’m “off” this weekend. I had hoped to start working on some of this backlog this weekend.

I may get to it yet.

sqlite /path/to/songs.db

sqlite> update songs set compilation=1 where path like '%various%';

That should do it.

Of course, the soundbridge doesn’t honor the compilation flag, so that will only work with an iTunes client.

Add this tip to the mtwiki!

I don’t use id3lib, I use libid3tag, and mt-daapd already supports the TCMP tag (and YTCP as used in id3v2.2, and the cpil atom in aac files).

This thread is about marking songs as compilation based on filesystem location, not strictly based on tag contents.

Good patch though… have you pushed it to the upstream?
