It would be nice if SlimServer utilized the ALBUM ARTIST tag which should already be populated in the music files by most contemporary tagging apps. If you are anywhere near a WinTel box, load your library into Windows Media Player and sort by ALBUM ARTIST. Scroll down alphabetically to 'VARIOUS ARTISTS' and you should have compilation albums grouped by album. -- D -- Dondi _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
