Artist Equivalence Issues

Thanks Joel!

Hi,

was just listening to a compilation of music from the 1940s and clicked on the performer Tony Martin (singing The Last Time I Saw Paris) and whilst the bio was correct it showed a picture of a different Tony Martin, the heavy metal singer from Black Sabbath (for a while).

Edit made for Tony Martin; however, at present artist images do not get updated in Roon, so you’ll have to edit this manually. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi,

thanks. Just tried the opposite search via a Black Sabbath Album (didn’t realise I had one with Tony Martin on it) and the same bio comes up.

It will take 48 hours before the edit will go live.

Jack Hammer http://www.jackhammer.co.za/ is treated as this Jack Hammer: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jack-hammer-mn0000099636.

James Phillips https://jamesphillips.bandcamp.com/ is incorrectly identified as http://www.allmusic.com/artist/james-phillips-mn0003130037

@evand Hi Evan, I think these are both bad attributions rather than equivalence issues. Which albums are you navigating from when you get the wrong artists?

Not sure which they are, but it’s the entire discographies in my collection relating to these artists, so it looks like equivalence, especially when they’re both seen as US artists.

@evand This appears to be (part of) the problem: https://listen.tidal.com/artist/4228219

How many of your James Phillips albums are unidentified and which are identified?

Will have to check tonight.

@joel All of them, however, not the case with Jack Hammer, where only one of the albums is unidentified.

Swedish metal band Carnage is mixed with some US artist Carnage:



Please make Swedish Carnage to appear in my library

Skid Row (the one associated with Gary Moore) is munged with Skid Row the American glam rock band.

@joel, anything I need to do on my side to resolve these?

@vladimirkl Thanks for the report. Edit made for Carnage. Up to a week to deploy to your library.

@evand Evan. I’m still trying to figure out what your issue is. Equivalence (in a very specific sense) looks good in our metadata for all three of the artists you’ve mentioned.

German kraut rock band “Atlantis” with Inga Rumpf shows albums from at least three over bands called Atlantis

@AE67 I’ve made an edit for Atlantis. Unfortunately, I’ve had to disassociate the TIDAL artist ID from all of the others, because it bridges multiple bands called Atlantis.

Amy Lee the saxophonist (Inside the Outside, Use Me, Piece o’ my Heart) is mixed up with Amy Lee the former Evanescence vocalist (Recover Vol1, Aftermath, Speak to Me)
