chances are this is a tagging or location issue.

first, are all the problem files in one folder location?  i find with
server that its best to put one album = one folder.

second, i agree about making sure all files are only using one tag
type.  for mp3, i only use id3v2.3

third, in server, have you drilled down to the song level info?  look
there, b/c u will see everything that server sees as tags.  a stray
weird sort tag or something like that could be the cause.

also, i assume the AA tag itself does not = "Various Artists" as that
causes problems which need workarounds in default server.

i also assume u have server set to treat TPE2 as AA since this is how
most all apps treat TPE2 (de facto standard, but out of spec)

fourth, are the tags in english or translated by the app?

what is meant by "recognizes" is that people can annotate AA tags in
different ways.  in english, for flac it could be "ALBUM ARTIST" or
"ALBUMARTIST" etc...

in id3v2, it could be TPE2 or TXXX ALBUMARTIST or TXXX ALBUM ARTIST
etc...

so it has to be a method server knows to interpret as AA.
