It appears to be a throw-back to the old "greatest hits" problem. I have several artists that have a "No Album" album, and slimserver is seeing these as a single compilation album. This behaviour can be controlled via the "COMPILATION" tag. If there isn't a compilation tag, I believe slimserver assumes songs in different folders are not compilations, whereas songs in the same folder on the same album name by different artists would be considered part of a compilation.
I also have some songs with missing artist tags (eg. podcasts, etc), that appear under Artists/No Artist/No Album. These do not appear under Artists/Various Artists/No Album. >Exactly like any other compilation album. Not for me. I have slimserver behaviour set up such that compilation albums only appear under "Various Artists", and not also under the artist. A track with an album tag is either by an album artist (non-compilation) or part of a compilation album (Various Artists), not both. >I don't have one in my library, but I would think that the one under Various >Artists is a convenient way (maybe the >only way) to browse all of the singles in your collection. I use a "Singles" custom browse menu (via Erlands wonderful custom browse plugin) for that purpose. Browsing by Artists/Various Artists/No Album indicates that I have 1001 songs in total by 376 artists without an album tag. These are listed by page number, so I have 15 pages to look through, and it's not particularly fast. I don't really mind that much, as the correct functionality is still working - I still see the No Album under each artist as I have done in the past. Maybe it is taking extra time during scanning to create this though? I think that Various Artists/No Album shouldn't be there - I'm fairly sure it never was before. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
