Handle multi-artist badly tagged metadata
Last modified: 2005-02-06 17:53:00 UTC
Please describe the problem: (I'm running version number 0.5.14, which was not available in the selection) Trying to rip a multi-artist CD with an Artist name of "Various" and song titles like "My Artist / My Song" sj generates a filename with all the slashes stripped away from the title. I scanned a whole lot of CDs and found this to be a very common naming scheme, so there should probably be a sane replacement for this character, a dash, maybe. Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert a multi-artist CD. 2. Note that the naming scheme is: Artist name "Sampler" and song title "My Artist / My Song". 3. Press the "Extract" button. 4. Note that the file is named "01 - My Artist My Song.ogg". Actual results: Expected results: The '/' character should be replaced by a dash, or a comma, maybe. Does this happen every time? Yep. Other information:
Brief summary: detect and optionally correct badly tagged multi-artist metadata where the title is of the form "artist / title". Note that this is a MusicBrainz metadata error and should also be corrected on their site.
