I've finally got to the bottom of this, in case anyone else sees the same problem. There are actually two issues (tested with a nightly build from 23/9/05).

1) Tag&Rename seems to be setup by default to add an AlbumArtist tag which is the same as the track artist. This seems to have the effect of randomly splitting some albums into multiple albums with the same name in slimserver.

2) If you remove the AlbumArtist tag from all tracks you want to fix, then running a full scan that clears everything this does not fix the problem. You need to manually delete the database file.

I downloaded the latest nightly of 6.2 on 10/10/05 and I love the new various artists feature.

However, I am seeing a problem with a number of my albums where the tracks from a compilation get split across two Albums when listed in the Various Artists list. About half of my various albums are fine, and the other half get split, into two typically, but "Coldcut Journeys by DJ" gets split into four. I can see no obvious reason why. The albums are all flac.

Is anyone else seeing the same?
