Too much talk. The current implementation, when it works, is fine. But to put things down simply:
The following assumes the same ALBUM title for all tracks, so we're not discussing Slim's ability to identify that the tracks belong together in one volume. 1. COMPILATION tag set to YES (rest of tags make no difference) = album is a compilation 2. No Compilation tag (null), all tracks exactly the same artist = NOT compilation 3. Compilation set to NO (rest of tags make no difference) = album is NOT a compilation 4. No Compilation tag (null), all or some tracks different artist = album is a compilation 5. No compilation tag (null) or compilation set to NO *AND* ALBUMARTIST specified and identical for all tracks = album NOT a compilation and is listed under the ALBUMARTIST 6. Compilation tag set to YES *AND* ALBUMARTIST specified and identical for all tracks = album is a compilation and should likely be listed under ALBUM ARTIST. The track artist listing rule comes from the current compilation prefs. Personally I don't mind if it's mandatory to specify the compilation tag for compilation albums, but I understand a lot of people rely on some server-side guessing to make this conclusion currently, so I wouldn't recommend breaking this if it's already in place. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36062 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
