[BUG][FIXED] Album Artists instead of Artist sent to Last.fm

[globex]

In the latest build (4.7 stable), the Album Artist is sent to the Last.fm scrobbler instead of the Track Artist -- which is obviously incorrect.

Workaround 1: use Subsonic 4.6
Workaround 2: use Subsonic 4.7 beta2
Workaround 3: use the MadEvil mod: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9187
Workaround 4: use the MusicCabinet mod: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9504

Workaround #2 doesn't work actually.

Really? I was pretty sure Sindre introduced this new way of using Album artist in 4.7 beta3. Did you clear your library from files scanned by 4.7 before evaluating? But maybe it's not the best workaround anyway.

Still using 4.6 because of this. Anyone know if 4.8 fixed this issue?

No, it's still broken in 4.8

This is fixed as of Subsonic 4.9.beta2!

I joined just to post in this topic.

As far as I can tell, the problem is that Subsonic is sending the track artist as both the track artist and the album artist. Other scrobblers I use (Android and Winamp) do not do this.

What it basically means is that for compilation albums, instead of having all scrobbles under "Various Artists - Album Title", you have an entry for each track artist.

Does that even make sense?
