SC doesn't really like what you do, and the truth is i don't think anything out there DBwise supports that methodology either. (FreeDB, CDDB, etc) the generally accepted way to do a comp is: artist (aka TPE1) = whoever the artist[s] are for that given track title = song title only album artist (aka TPE2) = the artist or category the track should fall under. so for a comp a category could be "Various Artists." or lets say the CD is billy joels with a guest artist on one or two tracks, then in that case you'd simply put "Billy Joel." if you are setting your comps to be TPE1 = Various Artists for all tracks, then SC would not use any logics to determine its a comp, it should just be filing the tracks under various artists in the listing. however, you may be running into a bug i posted where SC doesn't show tracks with "Various Artists" in the TPE2 field in some cases. maybe it also exists if that populates TPE1? btw i use EAC to rip, and it creates a comp specific filename structure for comps. wazza_c12;363268 Wrote: > I keep it pretty simple, this way, say in winamp all my various artists > are together and if I wanted I can search for the artist and it will > still return every track in my library that matches i use winamp too, but again, winamp expects TPE2 = Various Artists, not TPE1. just try autotagger, you'll see. i've never heard of anyone doing it your way. wazza_c12;363268 Wrote: > Personally I find this simple and effective .
