album

• get album(): string

Gets the album of the media represented by the current instance. For video media, this represents the collection the video belongs to.

This field represents the name of the album the media belongs to. In the case of a boxed set, it should be the name of the entire set rather than the individual disc. In the case of a series, this should be the name of the series, rather than the season of a series.

For example, "Kintsugi" (an album by Death Cab for Cutie), "The Complete Red Green Show" (a boxed set of TV episodes), or "Shark Tank" (a series with several seasons).

Remarks

Implemented via the DIRC item.

albumArtists

• get albumArtists(): string[]

Gets the band or artist who is credited in the creation of the entire album or collection containing the media described by the current instance.

This field is typically optional but aids in the sorting of compilations or albums with multiple artist. For example, if an album has several artists, sorting by artist will split up albums by the same artist. Having a single album artist for an entire album solves this problem. As this value is to be used as a sorting key, it should be used with less variation than performers. Where performers can be broken into multiple artists, it is best to stick to a single name. Eg, "Super8 & Tab"

Remarks

Implemented via the IART item.

performers

• get performers(): string[]

Gets the performers or artists who performed in the media described by the current instance.

This field is most commonly called "Artists" in audio media or "Actors" in video media, and should be used to represent each artist/actor appearing in the media. It can be simple in the form of "Above & Beyond" or more complicated in the form of "Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, Paavo Siljamäki", depending on the preferences of the user and the degree to which they organize their media collection. As the preference of the user may vary, applications should avoid limiting the user in what constitutes the performers field - especially in regard to number of performers.
