iPeng support thread

I can't figure out what is wrong with my albumartist tags.

I have a 3 albums. Below you can see relevant tags for those 3 albums:

album: Waltz For Debby
artist: Monica Zetterlund with Bill Evans
album artist: Monica Zetterlund;Bill Evans
albumartistsort: Zetterlund, Monica

album: The Greatest!! (Count Basie Plays Joe Williams Sings Standards)
artist: Count Basie with Joe Williams
album artist: Count Basie;Joe Williams
albumartistsort: Basie, Count

album: The Complete Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Recordings
artist: Tony Bennett & Bill Evans
album artist: Tony Bennett;Bill Evans
albumartistsort: Bennett, Tony

I use iPeng for iPad to control my music.

In artist menu I can see correctly all artists:
Count Basie
Tony Bennett
Bill Evans
Joe Williams
Monica Zetterlund

When I go to all albums menu inside artist menu I can see this:

The Greatest!! (Count Basie Plays Joe Williams Sings Standards)
Count Basie --sorted under letter B (like Basie)

The Complete Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Recordings
Bill Evans --sorted under letter B (like Bennett)

Waltz For Debby
Monica Zetterlund --sorted under letter Z (like Zetterlund)

I really cannot understand why the album artist for the Tony Bennet/Bill Evans albums is Bill Evans and not Tony Bennett.

Changing the artistalbum tag (for example) as "Tony Bennett;Elvis Presley" solves the problem (so the album artist in menu changed to Tony Bennett. But if I changed it back to "Tony Bennett;Bill Evans" (or "Bill Evans;Tony Bennett") the artist is again Bill Evans.

Any ideas?

Sorry if I posted this to wrong thread.

Maybe because that's the last entry under album artists.
It's indeed the wrong thread, this is a server discussion, I believe.

Sorry Pippin, I move to another thread...

Do all buttons show up?

Yes, I do believe so.

Ipeng on the Ipad, 7.6 latest nightly dedicated SBS.

I have trouble with Spotify. When I start searching and playing from Spotify (from IPeng), the Squeezebox Touch changes it source from my SBS7.6 to mysqueezebox.com. From that moment on, IPeng looses connection to my Touch, making it impossible to operate it.

This behavior is independent of what I select at the Ipeng options (connect to server/player).

I have to manually switch the Touch back to my local server and voila, Ipeng sees the player again.

Any tips for this? Thanks,

Ralph

You need to register iPeng for the same MySB account as the Touch and iPeng then should follow automatically.
You can register iPeng with MySB by just tapping on MySB under Music Sources. If you've already configured it but for a different account you can change that account by tapping the blue ">" next to MySB AFTER you've switched to it.

Unlike the Squeezebox iPeng doesn't enforce registration with MySB because so many users tell me they don't want that.

Thanks pippin, works again!!

why is the Touch changing sources in the first place?
Rather sounds to me like something not being configured right there?

Sorry, I missed the part about the dedicated server. I had thought the Touch was running with a USB drive on it's own. If it does that, it probably has to switch sources.

MrRalph, is username + password of Mysqueezebox.com entered on the mysqueezebox.com settings page of your 7.6 server?
if everything is alright the Touch should never automatically switch to mysqueezebox.com when you select Spotify.
