I'm pretty much doing the same thing (ripping to FLAC). When I do this I don't see the compilation CD listed under "Various Artists" when browsing Artists. I do see the track listed if it's from an artist with another album, and I do see the compilation CD listed when browsing Albums. I am using the Group compilation albums together option. I would like to see the compilation CD listed under Various Artists when browsing Artists. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? -- rocketdmc Dave Boom ~ Classic ~ Controller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rocketdmc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29534 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69335 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
