My bad.... never thought about that fixed!

Hi Germi,

Reopening this as i have an other issue related to this. I know how to fix the url as i stated before but... the wrong artist name (in the new case '$$ new artist' still remains visible on the actual album page... why is that? and can that be adjusted to match the right artist?

Sample:
https://www.rapsearch.com/mixtapes/b/boonie/boonie-elephant-in-the-room-hosted-by-dj-asap

I also noticed it adds the wrong artist to the songs pages...click any song and you'll its linked to 'new artist' as artist and not 'Boonie' in this case

well.. this is because, for whatever reason, these songs are LINKED to the artist "new artist". this is not a URL or cache issue. it's just the cong assignation.

you need to access the songs and change their artist.

Hi Germi,

I found where i can do this now... but why does it work like this? Now i have to manually edit all uploaded songs by my end users who pick the wrong artist...there are hundreds if not more In 9 out of 10 cases the albums added contain songs by one artist where i want all the songs linked to, so why make this seperation a default as the artist would match anyways? If you want a specific song to list a different artist then the album its from you could adjust just that specific song in stead of the other way around..know what i mean?

Is there a way to make songs to match the album artist? So that when that's adjusted the songs get adjusted as well?

well it works like this because it's the only way that you can actually assign different artists to songs inside an album, if you need to (for example, a recopilation album from different artists)

But is there a quick fix for me? I'd rather not edit all those songs manually .. is there a mysql querie i can run or something? to select all songs from artist X and assign them to artist Y? If you can possible hand me a sample i can test and adjust that.

or to be more specific... i need artist X from album X otherwise it will select all and i need it per album

the only "quick" way to do a bulk update is via de Database.

so yes, you can perform an UPDATE mysql query, where the WHERE condition says that artist_id = {old_artist_id} and to replace it for the new one...

but this needs to be done carefully. you need to really understand what you're doing here.
