I haven't noticed any change in behavior. > It used to be in such a way that if I had specified an "AlbumArtist" tag > for the songs in an album that album will show under > Artist->"AlbumArtist" and not under all the various track artists. Are these compilation albums or non-compilations? Generally speaking, you don't want an ALBUMARTIST tag on compilations. Specifying an ALBUMARTIST is in effect saying that "this album belongs to XXX". In the web interface, if you click on an album you should see an album listing page (album information at top, track listing below). A compilation album should show Compilation: Yes in the info. > In 7.3.2 beside appearing under Artists->"Album Artist" it also appears > under each of the track artists. That's always worked like this. The only thing you can control is to suppress the track artists on compilations from the artist list by grouping compilations in the preferences. The compilation albums have always appeared among the artist's albums. BUT: Currently you _cannot_ suppress track artists on non-compilations. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5108 So if you're doing something that is causing compilation albums to be considered non-compilations, you should correct this. A lot of people use the COMPILATION tag on _every_ single track in their library to explicitly tell SqueezeCenter whether or not an album is a compilation. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it. > Is there anyway to turn this off?

If there's been any change in behavior, it might be that the ALBUMARTIST tag now keeps these albums from being flagged as compilations. This could lead to the behavior that you're seeing. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57922 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
