Various artists gave me headaches, too. I had the same problem others mentioned here: when I browsed my albums, I had as many albums as there are artists in the compilation.
I think I solved it. The problem was my EAC configuration, not Slimserver. The way I configured it, EAC creates an artist folder (if it doesn't exist already), then creates an album folder and then rips all the songs in that folder. Now, that works very well for ordinary albums, but its not good at all for compilations. For example, I ripped "Great Jewish Music: Serge Gainsbourg" in a various artists folder I named after the album. EAC then created a folder for each artist in the compilation, then created a "Great Jewish Music: Serge Gainsbourg" in each one of those folders, then ripped the song in that folder. But if you want various artists to work properly, you only want one folder, named after the album. In my case, its "Great Jewish Music: Serge Gainsbourg". You then copy all the songs in that folder. I noticed something odd, though. The artists that figure only in a compilation and not in any other of your albums will only figure in the various artists. For example, in my compilation, I have a song by Cibo Mato, but I don't have anything else by them. Well, Cibo Mato will not figure in the artist listing under "C", they will only figure under various artist. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26576 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
