Hi all

I have an odd problem or is overlooking something, when setting tags on
my music.

According to the "Various Artists" logic described here:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/VariousArtistsLogic

it goes that: "If a file has explicit 'ALBUMARTIST' tags the server
recognizes, it will NEVER be classified as a comp/VA album"

In more occasions I have albums where I use the ALBUMARTIST tag to
avoid the Various Artists functionality to come in use. As i do not
want this. 

In the enclosed screenshot DoesNotBecomeVariousArtists is an example
where it works like a charm and acts like it should and does not make
use of the squeezebox Various Artists functionality.

The album has more different artists. But one Album name. And by
defining one Album Artists name, it does not become a Various Artists,
and I'm happy :-)

But then I have another example. Again with more different Artists, and
again one Album name. And one Album Artists name. But this errornously
becomes and Various Artists listing in My Music, e.g. under Artists.
See enclosed example BecomesVariousArtists

- Why does this happen. What I'm I overlooking?

It does comply to the "If a file has explicit 'ALBUMARTIST' tags the
server recognizes, it will NEVER be classified as a comp/VA album"
rule

... that is, unless the "...the server recognizes..." could be the
cause? Does anyone know what is meant by this?

All my music does not have a COMP tag. Neither 0 nor 1. It is blank.

And before you suggest using COMP=0 I do not want to use this, as this
will make all the individual artists of the album appear in the My
Music > Artists  list, which I don't want. I only want to have my
"major" artists there.

Heeeelp please.

FYI: I'm in Denmark, and in the screenshots Titel = Title,
Kunster=Artists, Album Kunster = Album Artists

Kind regards
Jens
