I came across this today.
The ARTIST metadata is not always the same when looking at just the album, as apposed to when selecting a song from that album? See track 1 highlighted in second picture.
How can that be?
Shouldn’t these 2 be looking at the same Metadata ID?
Some additional testing seems to show that when I edit metadata using the software META (Apple), it’s not always reflected in Audirvana.
As an experiment, I changed the ARTISTS category metadata in Audirvana and saw that change reflected in my Apple software.
Yet when I changed that same ARTIST category metadata within the software (Apple), the change was not reflected in Audirvana.
Something has gone sour. I don’t recall this occurring before.
I usually use MusicBrainz Picard first so that it finds data such as “ISRC”, etc.
Then I use META to fine tune.
Attached is screenshots of the same album with both programs.
The other oddity I find is when I add information to the “Grouping” category.
It automatically adds the 1st songs Composer after what I have added???
It’s not something I want displayed and find it clutters up this information.
