WM/AlbumArtist
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The WM/AlbumArtist attribute contains the name of the primary artist for the album.
Global Constant
g_wszWMAlbumArtist
Data Type
WMT_TYPE_STRING
Remarks
For albums where the tracks may have different artists, such as tribute albums or collaborative albums, this attribute can be used to specify the primary artist of the album. It is preferable to use this attribute rather than using an author value of "various artists".
