Hmm, I think I have 'cracked' it - in as much as I can now see that if so much as one of the tracks has a slightly different album title - it shows as multiples - I just corrected this in two test cases and the albums in question are now only listed once as being by 'Various Artists'. That may just be it - it's all in the tags (and how many times have I read that on these forums!)
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Scales Sent: 10 January 2010 15:31 To: 'Slim Devices Discussion' Subject: [slim] Various Artists Tagging Query Historically I have always tagged albums which contain tracks by various Artists so that each track has the Artist Name set to the Artists Name, the Track Title set to the Title of the Track and the Album Title set to the Title of the Album. I and using Tag & Rename to do all my tagging. In this way if I browse artists I can see all the tracks by that artist including their entries on Various Artist Albums. I have started using AAC seriously now and it seems to pick up each instance of an Artist with a song on a Various Artists album as a separate Album. Is there something I should be doing in Tag and rename to flag the fact that it is a Various Artists album (I see that there is a tickbox for 'Compilation Album' and should this in turn have some impact on the way that AAC 2.x sees the albums? Testing so far has been unsuccessful to when I get a VA album with 20 artists - AAC will ask me 20 times to select the album art - which I guess cannot be quite correct?
