I have just been ripping the compilation CD into \genre\various\albumname\xx-artist-songtitle.flac. and then manually opening in mp3tag and adding the appropriate artist name with the filename->tag function (in addition to the "Various Artist" artist tag that is already on every track). Then in slimserver if I want to see the entire album, I got to the "Various Artist" artist. If I want just the one song by a certain band, I go to that artist and the album shows up there, but with just their 1 track on the comp album. I have never heard of the "albumartist" tag. I thought these were the only tags supported by slimserver http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServerSupportedTags Also, what is the purpose of using the "compilation" tag? If I set this would it allow me to leave out the "various artist" tag and then in SS I could select to have the album show up as individual artists OR as various artists? I do not think I like this because I prefer having both like I do now. -- lemmy999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lemmy999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30839 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
