i'm guessing, so if i'm wrong tell me, but... i would guess stuff in there is for your files that have TPE1 mismatches, or artist mismatches if they aren't mp3s. they also may have comp tags, (or not). they also probably don't have TPE2 set, or TPE2 isn't being treated as album artist. (again, assuming mp3s) wnshall;367677 Wrote: > but *also* get a "Various Artists" item at the proper alphabetical place > under "V". if you set TPE1 = Various Artists for ALL tracks, this is what i would expect, b/c SC would think the band is named "Various Artists." how that plays into the bug i posted earlier, i can't say. but SC wouldn't call it a comp if there was no TPE1 mismatch, even if its named "Various Artists." interestingly, i have proposed making the current VA logic optional, and using comp tags OR user submitted string recognition instead, as they are foolproof. wnshall;367677 Wrote: > Further, as I described earlier, that second VA lists albums that are > compilations and have ARTIST="Various Artists". there is a difference between compilations in reality, and compilations known as such to SC. they aren't necessarily the same. wnshall;367677 Wrote: > However, if I change the default name (say to "compilations") then the > "various artists" that appears under "V" lists all albums with > ARTIST="Various Artists".
