Summary | 0015590: Wikipedia Artist Metadata doesn't appear for some artists (caused by 'another artist' function) | ||||

It works ok for me. It seems, you have assigned incorrect MusicBrainz artist. Select 3dot menu - wrong artist and choose the correct one, it should be ok then. |
|
This was probably triggered by use of 'Another artist' function. The problem is that 'Another artist' appears to the user that it will give them choices of other artists--but it doesn't--it just breaks the existing lookup. To fix this: - change 'Another artist' --> 'Don't look up' |
|
Fixed in 2170. The same wording used also for albums and releases. |

Per IM discussion, adjusted wording of Wrong artist/Album/Release to "Lookup Alternates" and "Enter name" renamed to "Rename" and moved to higher menu level. EDIT by Rusty: This change was made because: 'wrong x ?': doesn't make it clear that this is about looking up the artist/album & metadata 'another artist/album': implies that MM is going to initiate additional lookups when in fact it just decouples wikipedia lookups from the view 'Enter artist' in the Wrong artist section: makes the user think that this will somehow also trigger a lookup for wikipedia data, and in fact, it doesn't. The suggested UI was: Lookup alternate Edit in Wikipedia Edit in Musicbrainz ------------------- Rename... Properties... ------------------- Pin it |

Tested 2170, and I'd suggest a couple of tweaks: Lookup Alternates --> Lookup alternate (Artist) Album (Lookup Alternates) --> Lookup alternate (Album) Release (Lookup Alternates) --> Lookup alternate (Release) Don't look up --> Don't display info Lastly: Does it make sense to offer 'Don't display info' for 'Release'? Since as far as I can tell, choosing a release doesn't affect the wikipedia info that's displayed--it's only used for choosing what album tracks to display in online mode, and I can't think of a reason why we'd want no tracks to display. |

Fixed in build 2171. 'Don't display info' for 'Release' not used, it is really probably not needed. |

Verified 2171. |
