Different to album artists, which is good for compilations and producer lead albums.

Thank you, you're awesome!

Is this good?

You've just made my day!

Juan is that really you? 🤩

Not sure why this was voted down. It's a great contribution and a reasonable point of discussion.

Do you mind elaborating on the tax bit? I'm intrigued.

The artist tag (singular) has rightfully been around forever, the artists tag (plural) is relatively new. You'll see it as "Artist 1;Artist 2" or similar.

That's my combo too.

That's such a shame. From what I can gather, Izzy really cares about FOSS software. This will be a massive loss. But if we're honest, how can two thirds of the board quit rather than just the one person that's causing problems?

This reply lead me down this rabbit hole!

Thank you!

I didn't, basically it keeps hanging in addition to the abortion that is the mangled tags support on my NAS and so I turned it off.

Love seeing other Clementine users in the wild. Basically I was loving Clementine, but Android broke the remote and so that basically ruined it for me.

As for Jellyfin, like Navidrome, I can't get in installed on my NAS.

It seems nothing runs on my antiquated NAS. I really am going to have to look to upgrade it.

So I've been looking up Navidrome and it turns out it runs on everything except my NAS, an original Western Digital My Cloud EX2. So now I'm considering how to get around that, I'm planning to get a RaspberryPi 5, so maybe I can run it on there and point it to my storage.

The artists tag is a by-product of the streaming era whereby in order to try and get as much money as possible, artists needed to elevate their prominence and so the artists tag was born, an easy way for streaming service to cash in on users searching for featured artists.

Of course the artists tacitly agreed to this, as this meant they could get more money and more exposure, even though services like Spotify should've been indexing features anyway.

Ultimately, this is aimed at eroding the position of artists in the music industry and in particular in hip-hop and rap where the artists generally collaborate more than in any other genre of music, because in order to try and get a fair payday, you have to undermine the actual work of the primary artist.

Put it like this, you wouldn't see a film advertised as a Scorsese and DiCaprio film. It's always a Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and for good reason. But in music, they diminish the role of the primary artist as much as possible in order to ensure that things stay the same and the streaming services and labels get the lion's share of the revenue.

Even the fact that the composer tag exists rather than the producer tag shows how skewed things are and how little respect hip-hop garners, despite generating so much culturally and economically.

To go back to the film analogy, the artists tag is essentially a cast tag and I won't deny it has its place, but the director, producer, writer far outside the role of someone who is just making a cameo and thus they shouldn't be on the poster outside of a gimmick.

I hate all these modern big and colorful trainers, but they sell well. Horses for courses. If you like something, get it and enjoy it. Life's too short to live it for the opinion of strangers.

I didn't know about the SyncThing Fork.
