I don't think it would matter at all if the browse Artists list didn't have the special logic that builds the Various Artists entry at the top of the list. If this was removed, so it didn't look for compilation flag, but instead only concentrated on artists or album artists roles, Various Artists would appear whether they are marked as compilations or not. Then have a browse Compilations mode, which only looks for Compilation=1, irrespective of contributor roles. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
