Sorry about that. > Is that a problem with the scanner, or just the way the db is queried? i.e. will a full rescan be required? >> Album Artists > Various Artists still shows all compilation albums, not only >> albums by artist "Various Artist" (e.g. I found one album by "Various", >> listed under the artist "Various" but also under "Various Artists" as it is >> tagged as a compilation). > >Nothing has changed there (unless I've introduced a bug). > >This thread is about a separate Album Artists browse mode. I always said >too many topics were being discussed here. VA handling is one of them. > Ah, okay. It seems wrong to me that browsing to show albums by "Various Artists" can show albums that are not by "Various Artists" :-) >> I don't think this browse method should have any logic to look for >> compilations now, only artists + album artists. > >What is "this browse mode"? > Sorry, old terminology. I mean "My Music > Album Artists" list. In my opinion, Album Artists should just be a list of artists that have albums, and not anything special for albums that have a compilation flag. Leave it to the scanner to decide what album artist to assign to each album. >BTW: are you back on 7.9?

I think it was artists from compilations, which you said was a bug you have now fixed? Seemed to be affecting both old and new lists though. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
