I was thinking that possibly having 'Various Artists' as >the ALBUMARTIST for a non-compilation might do the trick. Basically, by >changing COMPILATION=1 to 0 on one compilation album. > I thought the view was pulling back a list of artists to display where role is either Artist or Album Artist. The scanner doesn't auto-add album artist roles yet. I suspect it will be the same effect - Various Artists, with either a Artist or Album Artist role should appear in the list, but I suspect the presence on at least one album with compilation tag prevents the display of the entry at all.
What if you had a compilation with a different album artist name - does that get displayed? >Haven't you said in the past that you use ALBUMARTIST for things such as >tribute albums? > Not me personally; but I know other people do. Edit: Oh, I just found one: Album: Biosystems - The Biosphere Remixes Artist: <differing track artists> Album Artist: Biosphere Compilation: 1 It's unusual for me to tag this kind of album as a compilation (I consider it a Biosphere album because they remixed it and released it themselves, effectively they are present on each track) - probably a tagging mistake by me that I set Compilation=1 when I didn't mean to. I have other albums by Biosphere. I can browse to this artist via Album Artists > Biosphere > Biosystems - The Biosphere Remixes. I don't have any compilation albums with a specific album artist where I don't have any other regular albums by the same artist. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
