It was a rhetorical question - I know that the logic would treat an album with two songs by different artists as a compilation. I was setting that as an example to show that you can't easily create a rule along the lines of "if only one track artist on an album doesn't match the other track artists, then it's not a compilation".
I believe that when there are different track artists on songs on an album, the album should either have an Album Artist or be a compilation. Unless told otherwise, SC disambiguates the album by making it a compilation. Some other rule could be attempted, I guess, like "if there are more than 4 songs, and 75% or more songs have the same track artist, then make that artist the Album Artist, and thus the album would not be a compilation. However, the logic is not as easy to explain to users; it's best to keep it as it is. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
