Re: [slim] Wiki entry on various artists or Compilations

The problem is that using ALBUMARTIST tag sort of puts track artist in the back row. Manipulating COMPILATION tags on particular tracks resolves it. It has nothing to do with the concept of compilation album or any other concept. It just works and, if I'm not mistaken, that is what the OP wants to

Actually, there is even inconsistency in this behavior (if COMPILATION is not set). Track artist can't see artist. Artist can see track artist but only on the first level of browsing. If you keep drilling down or follow the artist link further from the first level, then track artist's albums also

My listening room Squeezebox is used very lightly (only for serious listening - never just left on in the background - so that equates to maybe 3-5 hours a week max). I can see the burn-out from the analogue VU meters on the display - not in general use, but when the whole display alights such

I keep our displays on our SB3s off when turned off, and in a pitch black room, you can still see the filaments glowing a gentle orange. So I think unless you pull the power plug, the VFDs will continue to burn. But I prefer the electronic stability of leaving the circuits powered 24/7. FWIW,
