I actually like it like that; I hardly ever browse to compilations and play them, so there would be some music by my favourite artists that I'd never think of playing if they weren't available when I browse to that artist. As I said, you can sort albums by artist, and then compilations would be grouped somewhere near the bottom of the list. Alternatively, you could go to Music Library > Browse Albums, sort by artist, and then navigate to your chosen artist. You will see artists' albums grouped together, and compilations under "Various Artists". Alternatively, you can install CustomBrowse plugin, that defines new Browse menus (or you can configure your own), such that only regular albums are displayed when browsing an artist. >"Why is there only one song in this album?".

I would expect all songs that an artist has been involved with to be listed under any artist that I browse to. If I only wanted to play a regular album by the artist, I'd probably still use Browse Artist and simply ignore the albums that I know are compilations, if I wanted full albums. It's not exactly hard. Or I'd Browse Albums, Years, Genre, etc. But I'd always expect Browse Artist to display all music by an artist. >Also it doesn't make any sense to me that those single tracks album are >listed only if the track artist has also some full album in the >database, otherwise are not.

Sort by artist, or filter by artist, and you will see all music by that artist, irrespective of whether they have an album, album artist, compilation, or no tags other that artist and song name (eg. singles). >As it was before at least I could control this myself. > It's always worked this way.
