>Album #1: "Harp Chamber Works - Montreal Chamber Players.flac" >..and with the album artist tagged as "Various". > If you tagged the album with Album Artist="Various", then it shouldn't appear as a compilation album within Various Artists, but as a regular album by artist "Various" (unless you are also adding a Compilation tag)?

Unless you are ALSO tagging the album as a compilation, in which it is a compilation album. I haven't tried this in 7.6, perhaps something has changed/been broken. More likely though it is the handling of embedded cuesheets that is iffy? I'm guessing that although you have a PERFORMER that is not associated with a track (making it the album artist), it is still recording the album as a compilation (is there a tag name in cuesheets to control compilation indication?). Does the album show up within Various Artists? You could try tagging the actual .flac file with COMPILATION=0, and then it might appear under your album artist name (and nowhere else). Perhaps you could try converting one of your albums from cuesheet? _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
