I see.  Yes, you're probably right - this was a change made in
SlimServer 6.5.  What's happening is those albums aren't being
recognized as the same album.  Instead, SlimServer sees them as
distinct albums for each artist (probably with only one or so tracks),
not compilations.  SlimServer 6.5 now requires all tracks for a
compilation album to be located in the same folder.  If I recall
correctly, this was a side effect of being able to distinguish albums
with the same name from one-another.  From what I've seen in other
discussions, I don't think there's a workaround short of reorganizing
the storage of these compilation albums.
