It looks like this isn't going to work if the album artist tag is missing 🤔 |
When adding a random album, the album artist intuitively should be the same for all added songs. Currently, this is not so, so when adding e.g. 'Greatest Hits' you can get many different albums. Fix this by randomly selecting one album artist whose songs to add. See comment inside the code for (insignificant) limitations. Fixes Github issue ncmpcpp#159.

I rebased on top of 0.9.2 since that is the version I could easily compile and run using the Arch Linux PKGBUILD. I updated the logic around missing album artist tags. It now works in a way I consider sensible:
I have tested this with databases with all album artists present, with no album artists present, and with some album artists present and some missing. |
