ok, so only one album is getting improperly handled. thats not so bad. lets be clear though... the one album that is improperly handled, HOW SO? meaning, is it getting called a comp and in reality it is not a comp? or what?

For the Album Artist tag > all 8 has "Diverse Kunstnere". again, the language thing throws me. here's what i want you to do. for the album that is categorized incorrectly, change the album tag to "XYZ" and the AA tag to "ABC" (both for all tracks) and make all the artist tags represent the actual artist of the song per track. then do a full clear and rescan, and let us know where the album ends up. it SHOULD end up under "ABC" and NOT in the various artists category. IF it does end up in the VA category, it means at least one of the tracks must have a comp=1 tag on it. but lets do that and see what happens.

I just can't put my finger to it from > MP3Tag-software. we're definitely getting closer, and i do think that at times, one track with a stray tag can affect a whole album. the first thing i would do is break the album into two parts, a WMA part and a mp3 part, and create a folder for each. then i would scan and see which part works and which doesn't. if WMA works, then the problem is a stray tag somewhere in the mp3s. you should drill down to the song info level in server for EACH mp3 at that point and examine the tags. whatever is happening can only happen if server can see it. also, MAKE SURE you have ONLY ONE tag type. i suggest id3v2.3 JENCDK;694667 Wrote: > -> "personally, i don't mix formats. so you are saying it is ONLY mp3 > files that are getting classified wrong? do they have id3 and wma tags > in them, or just wma? are they in folders with wma files?
