There were some considerable changes in 6.5 regarding the handling of compilation albums and common album names. In 6.3 you had to specify every album name that existed in your library more than once, e.g. "Greatest Hits". If you didn't these albums were treated as compilation albums. This was quite cumbersome and did not follow common sense: Why should an album be treated as a compilation only because there is another album with the same name by a different artist. e.g I have three albums called "The Antidote" by three different artists. Slimserver now only treats albums as compilations if they have different artists and the files are in the same directory. This is only a problem for people who strictly follow the /artist/album/song structure and even split up compilation albums. I suggest you create an artist directory called "Various artists" and regroup your compilation albums under this entry.
Another (unverified) solution you might want to try: Tag all compilation tracks with the COMPILATION=1 tag. I'm not sure if this works though as I haven't actually tried it. But telling slimserver explicitely to treat these tracks as compilation could do the trick. -s. -- slimpy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27746 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
