DisplayArtist Attribute
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The DisplayArtist attribute is the name of the artist that is displayed for an item.

Remarks
Generally, DisplayArtist will have the same value as the WM/AlbumArtist attribute when that attribute is set. Otherwise, the value will be the name of the artist that is associated with the first track on the album.
To determine whether you can change the value of this attribute, use the Media.isReadOnlyItem method.
