$ifequal(n1,n2,then,else) function not working as expected.

I'm trying to use $ifequal(n1,n2,then,else) to display a string when %artist% is different than %album artist%. Problem is that $ifequal doesn't seem to work properly. It always returns the "then" part. I tested it in "Playback state display formatting" where you can get instant feedback on function output.

Edit: Mhm. It seems like it only supports integer numbers. disregard this.

You could use the string compare function:

$if($strcmp(%artist%,%album artist%),then,else)

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. My search-fu is weak, and "compare" did not highlight any occurrences in the wiki or Titleformatting reference file.

You realize that %album artist% already checks the artist field, right?
