Hello,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question

It seems that the artists folder shows either the track artist or the
album artist, but not both, and ignores an album, when the album artist
is various.

So, for example, the album smithsonian folkways childrens music
collection, each track has an artist, for example, woody guthrie, and
the album artist is various.

Under the artist folder in the squeezebox folder, there is no entry for
woody guthrie, and the album does not show under various.

So you cannot get to this album through the artist folder.

In iTunes, this album would appear under various.

I would like to see an entry under artists for woody guthrie.

In the custom browse for composer, there is an entry for each composer,
even if that composer only is listed on 1 song on the album.

Assuming that there is something special about the words various
artists, I have another album, St Louis Sounds, Album Artist is
Washington University Pep Band, and the artist on one song is Randy
Mayfield.

Randy Mayfield is not listed in the artist lists, washington university
is.


>From another post in this forum:
>>>    If you browse _artists_ and you have enabled 'Treat TPE2 MP3 tag
as Album Artist' then you should see both 'Steve Earle' and 'Steve Earle
and The Del McCoury Band' in your list of artists. Squeezebox 
>>>>>>Server always lists both ALBUMARTISTs and ARTISTs from
non-compilations.

This is the behavior I would like, but I do not think I am seeing this.
