@ Tim Phillip Müller:
The problem is that cdtext also supports a general Artist and Title for the CD
but the API of cdio does not exactly allow you to give it. Because of this they
have the work-around that you get these values, when you do cdio_get_cdtext for
track 0. Then you get again title and artist, but for the album.

The point is that gst_cdio_get_cdtext always modifies the tags ARTIST and
TITLE. This is meant to be like this because gst-cdio always propagates the
metadata of the current text. This new method I created uses the same
cdio_get_cdtext call (for track 0) but writes the values to other tags (to
GENRE and ALBUM).


@ Sebastian Dröge:
GST_TAG_ARTIST is already used for the Metadata of each track. IMHO (as I don't
exaclty understand the difference between ARTIST and PERFORMER in Gstreamer
context) the Artist of an Album is the Main-Artist that is responsible for the
whole recording and then you have the PERFORMER(s) for a single Track. That is
even better usable for Samplers. The problem about this is, that it kind of
brakes the API as cdio at the moment sends the artist as the artist of each
track.
