Aaron:
I have the exact same problem as you. I went with
this suggestion:
"Try the following
Server Settings:Behaviour:Common Album Titles
Check the box.
Add the appropriate name(s) in.
You may think that this doesn't help. You may need
to tag all you mp3s with "noalbumdata" then add
that to the list in the server settings. This may
not be the answer that you are looking for but it
works well for me.
I believe the behaviour you are referring to was
changed to reflect the efforts of the Compliations
section."
Unfortunately it turned out this only worked for
one artist. That particular artist has 3 links
when I click on the artist's name - All Songs and
two noalbumdata links.
All Songs works fine, both noalbumdata links bring
up several hundred mismatched files.
Unfortunately it seems this is the only artist I
can get an "All Songs" link for.
What I'm doing now is going to the Artist link and
adding that to the playlist, which adds all songs
from that artist, then removing the songs from the
artist I don't want. Kind of a pain and it's a
real problem with >10 songs.
The good news is that Dan Sully at Slim Devices
has asked to take a look at one of the tracks from
the Artist that makes the "All Songs" link, so at
least someone is looking into it.
Hang in there, I am...
