Windows 10: Make details pane include Contributing Artist, Album Artist, #, Album,

The details pane used to include Contributing Artist, Album Artist, #, Album, as recently as yesterday. now it does not. how do I make it do so yet again? i got win10 and a asus vivobook if that is relevant

Artist > Album

Windows Media player 11 if you have.

The "Contributing Artist" tag is the one that gets linked to the album like the "Album artist" tag.

At least that's how it seems to me. When I select which tags it must show WMP has the Album artist tag on the list but it just refuses to show it. So there's a chance I'm wrong here but with all my music it's the "Contributing artist" tag that is being linked.

If this doesn't work in your reply include a list of the software you have access to, it will make it a lot easier for you to get help even if it's from someone else.

 

N8 music player "artists and albums" issue

For various artist albums go to album file , hilite all files in folder, right click and select properties/Details, and change album artist to Various Artists and apply, album will then show as various artists but artist on each track will remain as contributing
artist, display in player will show the album as it should be ie Now 78 etc

 

Windows Media Player Can Be Made To Display Contributing Artist For Each Song

To get WMP to display Contributing Artist for each song (instead of Album Artist), load the WMP application.

• Select "Albums" in upper left of screen.
• Left click on the Album that you would like to maintain. All fields will be highlighted.
• Left click the Album Artist field for your selected album. The Album Artist field will be highlighted
• Hit the delete key to clear Album Artist data.
• Accept the update.
• WMP will default the Contributing Artist from the first song in the album in the Album Artist field.
• This is not correct for the album, but when the album is played, Contributing Artist for each song will display alternating with the Album Name and the Song Title.
