I have been struggling with the same problems. I ended up tagging just album , artist, track and title of each of my compilations, and blanking all other tags. The behaviour for artist list is:
1) The album is listed in Various Artists 2) If you have albums by an artist on a compilation album, the album and the tracks by that artist are listed under that artist. 3) If you have artists on a compilation album, but you do not have any album by that artist, then the artist is not in the artist list. This seesm to be a pretty good way of doing it. I have had some weirdness for some of my albums. a) Artist names in lower case b) Artists on some Compilation albums listed in artist, but the album not listed in various artists. c) Albums split into two entries with some track on each. In all cases I fixed the problem by deleting all the tags on the offending album and re-tagging it. I noticed if an album has APE tags, MP3tag seems to update the ID3 tag but not the APE tags, and the Squeeze center uses the APE tag. -- malaugh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ malaugh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17610 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43868 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
