It would be great if Slim could provide an Album Artist category in the browser. I understand a lot of SB users on this forum are perfectly happy with the fact that when browsing through artists there are hundreds of obscure artists listed by virtue of the fact that they appear on a compilation album somewhere.
I do this all the time. For id3v2, I set the album's band (TPE2) tag to what I want to browse by (ALBUMARTIST for FLAC). For example, here's something from the magnolia soundtrack, which I browse to through Artist->Film Soundtracks->Magnolia: id3v1 tag info for 01-Aimee Mann-One.mp3: Title : One Artist: Aimee Mann Album : Magnolia Year: 2000, Genre: Soundtrack (24) Comment: Track: 1 id3v2 tag info for 01-Aimee Mann-One.mp3: TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Aimee Mann TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Magnolia TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): One TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1 TORY (Original release year): 1999 TYER (Year): 2000 TPE2 (Band/orchestra/accompaniment): Film Soundtracks Then, under Server settings -> Behavior, I tick the 'Band/Orchestra' checkbox and set "group compilation albums together' and 'list albums by band' options.
