not correct. they are in no way "buggy."

Philip Meyer;368371 Wrote: > SC works exactly the same if there is an album artist tag of "Various > Artists". not true. first, you have to set the TPE2 as album artist option to enabled, which is not the default. second, there are implications to setting an album artist in SC that don't exist in other software. THIRD, SC CURRENTLY DOES _NOT_ DISPLAY CERTAIN ALBUMS IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION ENABLED AND TPE2=VARIOUS ARTISTS. THATS THE BUG YOU ARE CLAIMING ISN'T A BUG. THEY DON'T SHOW UP ANYWHERE UNDER HOME > ARTISTS ...soo how you can say "SC works exactly the same" is beyond me. Philip Meyer;368371 Wrote: > Music will be shown as a normal album by an artist of that name. untrue, it won't be shown at all. now, if you have comp tags on it, that might affect it, i can't say, OR if you rename the SC option for what to call the category for comps, then it will work.
