Hi again, It may be that I am approaching this the wrong way then, but I can give a little more detail on what I have seen in my tests...
Taking the album "Push The Button" by "The Chemical Brothers". Some of the tracks have more than one Artist listed, using multiple artists in a single "ARTIST" tag separated by the semicolon character (which SS is configured to recognise as a separator). When browsing "Albums, by Artist", the album artwork is shown correctly, but it is labelled as "'Push The Button' by 'The Chemical Brothers, Q-Tip, The Magic Numbers, Anwar Superstar'" i.e. it lists all the Artists who are tagged in the 11 tracks. This is true if the "BAND" tag DOES NOT exist, but the "Album Artist" tag does (on all tracks obviously). When I populate the "BAND" tag with 'The Chemical Brothers', the "Album, by Artist" view shows "'Push The Button' by 'The Chemical Brothers'" which is the result I want... I don't know if this is something to do with the differences between "BAND", "Album Artist" and maybe even "AlbumArtist" tag usage by SS, but these are the results as I find them. Removing the "Album Artist" tag altogether, and keeping the "BAND" tag, still produces the consolidated result of "'Push The Button' by 'The Chemical Brothers'", which is what makes me think that SS may be ignoring the "Album Artist" tag. Incidentally, adding the "COMPILATION=0" tag to all the files produces the result of removing the album from the "Various Artists" group, which is what I want also. Any more hints or views on usage of the "BAND" and "Album Artist" tags would be gratefully received.
