Post subject:  Problem Ripping Multi-Artist CD's

Anybody else have any problems ripping multi-artist CD's? No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to rip correctly. And now it won't show any lookup info. I even cleared the lookup cache, but that didn't help.

I had no end of problems when I tried this. I think it is still work-in-progress.

From what I can tell, if you check the "multi-artist" option while ripping, it goes into the DB (this isn't an ID3 parameter). Even if you delete the cache and ripped files, re-scan and rip again (without checking multi-artist!), the files are sorted as if "multi-artist" had been checked.

The only way I could fix this was to go into the menu for each ripped file (in music select) and uncheck the "multi-artist" option and chose both "modify db" and "modify file".

There is probably a mysql command that will clear that portion of the db that maybe someone else knows.

I see. I eventually ended up at the point where it wouldn't get me an disc data. I manually put all the info in an' it still didn't work right. :(
