did u set it up as i described above? if so, u wouldn't need tagandrename for almost anything. winamp does just about everything i need it to, when properly configured. steveeedster;363560 Wrote: > now for squeezecenter.... > > What I want to do is to go to by artist and to see the compilation > songs only under 'various artists'. now i am seeing this, however i > get the songs duplicated. for example, on one compilation, i have > duran duran - planet earth. however i also have a duran duran album, > this single song appears under artist next to this album under 'duran > duran' as a single song as well as in the full compilation under > 'various artists' > > is there anyway i can get rid of the duplicates in artist view? note: > in album view all is fine, all the songs come under a single comp album > under various artists. if we are talking about the SC webUI, i ALWAYS go: sc home > albums and set it to show artwork, and go artist, year, album. since i treat TPE2 as album artist, it uses TPE2 to both sort and list (denote) my albums, which is exactly what i want. so, i don't know much about what sc does if u go SC home > Artists. i don't like that view, don't need it, don't want it. but IF you want to suppress comps from showing up, you need to make SC think it isn't a comp. right now, it thinks its a comp b/c you are NOT treating TPE2 as album artist, and it finds differing TPE1 info, and calls it a comp. if you DO treat TPE2 as a comp, i think you'll find the comp albums no longer show up in the SC > artists list. BUT b/c of a bug, they won't show up under SC > Artists > Various Artists either. i already posted that bug earlier in the thread i think. (if not, i will in my next post) there is a workaround, simply rename the VA category in the SC settings. steveeedster;363560 Wrote: > better with pictures... > > In artist view i get various artist at the top just as i want... > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/SQUEEZE1.jpg > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/squeeze2.jpg > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/SQUEEZE3.jpg > > however the songs are also duplicated under their respective artists > individually 'if' i have another album by that artist as shown here... > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/squeeze4.jpg > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/squeeze5.jpg > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/squeeze6.jpg > > my compilation settings... > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/squeeze7.jpg > > my tag setup... > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/tag1.jpg > http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/steveedster/tag2.jpg based on you compilation settings, i would do the following: UNCHECK band/orchaestra. CHANGE Treat TPE2 to Album Artist (NOT Band) and ADD a value into what to call VA albums, even "Various Artists & Comps" should work. then do a full clear and rescan. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51928 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
