Hello Mathias,

I recently saw this post when I incorrectly entered the url of my Racks and Tags site [url]www.racksandtags.com/vendenbos[/url].
I have entered the various bands of Bruce Springsteen as other spelling for the artist Bruce Springsteen, see the attached screenshot.
This can be easily done by the following steps:

1. In OrangeCD choose Browse by Artist above the tree view
2. Select the band in the tree view you do not want to be listed in Racks and Tags (e.g. 'Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band')
3. Right click the band name en choose Properties (Alt-Enter)
4. Copy the primary name
5. Select the artist/band that you want listed in Racks and Tags (e.g. 'Springsteen, Bruce')
6. Right click that name and again choose Properties
7. Past the copied band name in the Other spellings or names multi-line textbox
8. Repeat these steps for all alternate band names, placing each name on a new row in the textbox

All albums from the different bands are now listing under the same artist in OrangeCD. Upload your collection and this will also be the case in Racks and Tags.
The artist name for each individual album will still be listed as the original band name. This only affects the grouping.

Hello VendenBos!

It worked! Thanks a lot! You really made my day.

I found your answer this morning and couldn't wait to come home to try it out. It was the first thing I did at home and it worked! I'll now go through my collection and do it for all artists that may apply...

It took a while, almost one year since my question. But anyway, better late than never... Now I've set my forum options to send me a mail if I get answer on one of my threads.

Again: Thanks a lot VendenBos!

Mathias

You're welcome, Mathias!
It's been good to read that my advice was useful, even after some time.
