Using Mezzmo v4.1.3.0 on Win7 64bit. I am trying to figure out the relationship of Win7 file attributes and Mezzmo's interpretation of them and how all of that interacts with searching. I'll start with one example involving Windows attributes Contributing Artists and Album Artists for mp3 files.
I have a folder named "ABBA - Momma Mia! Soundtrack" with the soundtrack of Momma Mia! Contributing Artists fields have all kinds of names in them and some are blank. Album Artist fields are all ABBA.
What I find in Mezzmo is: A search for media files with "ABBA" turns up nothing. I'm doing the search by entering ABBA in the search box near the top of the screen. The name ABBA does show up in the left pane under Album Artist. The name ABBA does not show up in the left pane under Artist. The folder name shows up under Folders in the left pane.
If you display the folder in Mezzmo it shows all the names under "Artist/Actors" that were display as Contributing Artists in Windows. The only place that ABBA shows up in the Mezzmo listing is under the Folder Name field.
Since a search for ABBA turns up empty, it seems that Mezzmo is ignoring the Windows Album Artist field and the Windows Folder Name.
Why is Mezzmo ignoring the Windows Album Artist field?
Why doesn't Mezzmo see ABBA as part of the folder name it displays?
