Wrong composer associated to Yard Act : Where's My Utopia?

This is in Qobuz but seems to be associating Jamie XX as the composer for this new album. I dont think Jamie XX is part of Yard Act can we get this changed please?

Hi @CrystalGipsy. Unfortunately, this is not a quick fix.

tl;dr I believe that we are picking the wrong artist for the textual string “James Smith”.

Longer:

  • James Smith is a member of Yard Act.
  • James Smith is also the real name of Jamie xx.
  • We’re picking the wrong one.

I think we can make a good (and generalized) improvement here, but it will need to be scoped and scheduled. For now, your best bet is to remove/replace those composer credits on the album’s tracks.

In looking at this, I also found another issue where it appears that we’re failing to select an artist from the “Sam Shipstone” composer credit string. I’ll add this to the ticket.

Thanks for reporting; we can and will make this better.

Thanks Joel

I can confirm this problem is also present with the CD rip of the album.
