ok, but its the same thing.  SORT tags will override the VA logic just
like ALBUMARTIST will.  (so VA logic is not necessary for you)

thats very cool about the SBC, i didn't think you could over-ride how
the SBC does it, (via tags).  

personally, i'd like to see a SC7 global setting for these different
UI's.  so what i see in the webUI is what i see in the SBC.

but great to know you found a workaround.

yes, i'll comment more later, but this is a bit of a strawman...  i
never said differing foldering locations wasn't important for
discerning albums from each other, (like greatest hits) i just said i
didn't think that SC7 uses folder names to say that a CD in that folder
is a VA album.  *if i am wrong on that, np, happy to admit it.*

(i would like to know if a CD gets called VA and a comp just for being
in such a folder, and what exactly the folder needs to be called to
make that happen)
