Description Rodd Clarkson 2004-11-10 01:57:49 UTC 
Try this:

1. Change the name of the artists individually per track.  Set them either to a
unique Artist for each track, or a different name to the Artist listed at the top.
2. Change the Artist field at the top

What happens:

You get to watch all your good work get erased without so much as a by-your-leave.

What should happen:

If the artists for each track are different (common on Various Artists CDs),
OR if the original entry in the Artist field for the album is different to that
of the artist listed for each track, Sound Juicer should confirm the action
before updating the artist for each track.

Daniel Silverstone has this to say:

if the user has altered the artist field of any given track, do *NOT* stomp on
it when they change the artist field for the disc.

...or...

if the user has altered the artist field of any given track, do not stomp on it
unless it is equal to that of the old disc artist field when the disc artist is
altered.

Should we expect the fix for this problem? It's quite weird. Yesterday I also edited my CD tags to grab and then tried to clear common "Artist" field to change directory hierarchy and then I realized that I lost my ~10 minutes work (there was a very long individual Artists names for every song).

SJ will now only change a track artist if it was the same as the original album artist.
