>I have recently hit the same problem, und used the same fix >COMPILATION = 1 and ALBUM ARTIST = Various Artists > You shouldn't need to ever set ALBUMARTIST="Various Artists".
If you have different ARTIST tag values for different tracks on the same album title (in the same folder only, I think - that's the recent change), slimserver will automatically consider it a COMPILATION, and will list it as a various artist album (using the configurable name, the default being "Various Artists"). You can override this by setting ALBUMARTIST to something else. Also, you can override slimservers automatic detection of a compilation album by setting COMPILATION to 0 or 1. Eg. if you have an album that is incorrectly guessed as a compilation/various artists album (such as an album where one track is by a guest appearance), you can set the tags of all tracks to COMPILATION=0 and ALBUMARTIST=<main contributing artist name>. I predominantly use FLAC and mp3 - I don't think I've tried any various artists albums in other formats or cue sheets, etc. That may be different... I believe what I have written above to be correct, but I can't test that at the moment, as I am on 6.5b1 split-scanner beta beta release, and it doesn't work at all at the moment ;) If someone could verify it, could we get it written into the wiki and/or a help page in slimserver, as it crops up a lot!
