How to change the indexing for the library

[cytisine]

Hello,

I'm new to subsonic and I got some compilation CDs which has a Various Artists in the Album Artists.
In the track artist is the actual name of the artists how is singing the song, but when I rescan the folders in the library in the column Artists it shows Various Artists and the name of the song.
My question: Is there a way to change the property for scanning the ID3 tags of the mp3 files and to write the Track Artist in the media library?

Thanks in advance.

Either install SS 4.6 which does use the Artist tag or check out the Mods section.
As you have found out 4.7 is using the Album Artist tag which is fine until you come to compilations

The problem is not so much in the showing the Various Artists, but in the search when I search the Artists name from the compilation with Album Artist "Various Artists" is says "No matches found"

I want to change the information which is written in the database so it will write the Track Artists,but not the Album Artist. So if anyone know which jsp to edit and what to edit I will be very thankful.

Cheers.

It is not done in the .jsp (that's the web presentation layer), so you'd need to check out the whole source code, change some .java files and build your own .war file.

I believe others have already done that, though. I know for sure that I have here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9504. Maybe it's done in the Madsonic mod too, I'm not sure about that.
