I actually *do* have that album: "The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young". I have the ALBUMARTIST set as above and when I search for "Neil Young" I find it in the list of albums under the artist "Neil Young" as well as in the list of albums with "Neil Young" in the title. Drilling down into the album shows me all the tracks in their proper order with the individual artists properly listed. Curiously, double-checking right before sending this, I see that I don't have the COMPILATION tag set...I'm not sure how that happened, given that dBpoweramp would not have let me set per-track artist names without checking the COMPILATION box. Hmm...anyway, I've seen the same behavio[u]r on similar albums that do have COMPILATION set to 1. Apparently ALBUMARTIST takes precedence over COMPILATION, which makes perfect sense to me. -- atrocity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57922 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
