naught101: As CatQuest said, record labels are not really good as VA release artists, however, it should definitely be doable to do some Picard tagger scripting to do it for you locally. If you need help, there's a number of very savvy Picard scripters on the forum. :)

CatQuest is not sure sotho understood what he said

Freso: ok. I think with a lot of them, I can use compiler/DJ mixer, but with many it'll have to be manual, because I'll just be making something up in Picard...

see ya in a few hours
2017-06-11 16225, 2017

naught101: Well, Picard should get both "compiler" and "DJ mixer" relationships from MusicBrainz as well as label, so it should definitely be possible to do something like "if artist is [Various Artists], set artist name to (%compiler% or %djmixer% or %label%)".
(%compilation% is literally the same as checking for the VA MBID.)
2017-06-11 16256, 2017
Freso
(But you may want to check for VA MBID explicitly in case you ever want to do tagger scripting or use a plugin that alters how %compilation% is computed.)
2017-06-11 16218, 2017
naught101
Freso: hrm.. is %label% correct? because it doesn't seem to work when I add that compilation check, on a release with a label
2017-06-11 16246, 2017
Freso
naught101: My above code was pseudo code. You should double check all the variables. :)
2017-06-11 16257, 2017
naught101
is there a place to look up those variables?
2017-06-11 16207, 2017
Freso
(And maybe also add a fallback for cases where there's no compiler, DJ mixer, or label info.)
2017-06-11 16208, 2017
naught101
The %compilation% check is what fails... the release has a "Compilation (itunes)" flag... not sure if that's the same thing though
2017-06-11 16211, 2017
Freso
It is.
2017-06-11 16233, 2017
Freso
There's a Picard plugin that lets you see all the available variables.
2017-06-11 16215, 2017
naught101
Freso: so maybe I should JUST check the MBID for Various Artists?
2017-06-11 16233, 2017
Freso
naught101: That's certainly possible. :) What if you have [Various Artist] credited-as "SomeRandomThing", do you still want to override the artist name string?
naught101: I would ask in https://community.metabrainz.org/c/picard for more help. I'm really not that much of a taggerscript guru. :) I usually just do my initial tagging with Picard and feed it to beets after that, so beets is where I do my more advanced stuff. (And even then, there are people better suited to answer than me.)
2017-06-11 16247, 2017
naught101
ok, will try. Looks like compiler tags don't come across if there is more than one compiler, too :/
2017-06-11 16221, 2017
Freso
If %compiler% is a multi-value tag, you may need to do some additional handling of it. I guess that same is try for DJ mixer and maybe even label too.
