these problems are as old as LMS itself. the first issue is bug 9523. this is a string conflict in LMS, where LMS will hide anything that matches the string used to designate comps, either the default string "Various Artists" or whatever string the user assigns.
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9523 the best fix i know of at this point for bug 9523, is bug 15604, which imo was closed improperly. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604 basically, the idea is to remove from LMS any consideration of whether something is a comp or not from queries, EXCEPT for queries that directly express a need to know comp status. eliminating the string conflict in bug 9523 should be paramount, this is an out of the box bug that affects countless users! and its the worst kind, b/c its not obvious at first. there should be, SHOULD be, no problem in using Album Artist tags and comp tags together, or separately. if there now is, i suspect its related to all the above. see the links in my sig for more details. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103494 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
