Thank you for trying to help, Phil. >From what I can gather there is no such thing as an AlbumArtist tag for MP3 files. However, we can get AlbumArtist-like behavior by telling SlimServer 'Use TPE2/BAND ID3v2 tag as "ALBUMARTIST"' except for the slight problem that this can only be done through iTunes.
Can anyone confirm if the above assumptions are true? At the moment I have tried to make it so Compilations are not used at all. I've set the options under "Compilations" to: -List compilation albums under each artist -Include compilation artists in artist list However, I have some Albums that are getting split into two line items when I browse by Album. When I click the album name, some albums are listed under the first item and some are listed under a the second item. There is no way to list all the songs from the Album when browsing by Album. The songs are all in one folder but the track artists are different for each song. On other compilations, the album is listed once as it should be. The only differences I can see is that the ones that SlimServer is splitting up have the artist as part of the file name set off by either parenthesis or dashes OR, the artist is not included in the file name. In the ones that SlimServer is not splitting up, all have the artist as part of the file name separated by underscores. Maybe this has something to do with the "Guess Tags" setting under formatting. I will try taking that out and rescanning to see if it helps. If not I guess I have to rename all those files to use underscores instead of parenthesis or dashes. Ugh I am so sick of rescanning over and over and trying to figure this all out! -- MeSue Sue PS: I want a Squeezebox boombox. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
