i should now clarify that i think comp=0, and maybe comp=1 tags will
over-ride the greatest hits logic, but i'm not positive. (meaning that
those tags will make server combine album tracks from differing
locations into one album for display)
in response to the last post, i think thats because the so called
greatest hits logic always trumps the VA/comp tag, etc logic.
i agree with an earlier comment in the thread... all the tracks off
any given CD should be all together in one folder and its just another
reason why itunes sucks.

My music is all in MP3 and the PC which runs slimserver is running

Mac or a Windows application.

Try to find that TagRename, from what people say it's really powerful..
It should at least
mp3tag is free, and there is a good write-up in the Wiki Guide to

I just don't understand why anyone wouldn't organise their music into a
directory structure that is basically one directory per album -
compilation or otherwise - ...(under a directory per artist). Perhaps
it's just me that thinks this is the only sensible way to do things and
anything else is

I don't want to give the idea that I have a problem with the software,

i agree with BOTH of you!!! i got more or less flamed when i had

and i shouldn't have to work for the SOFTWARE. evidently, i didn't

Slim Server is far from perfect and is especially weak on the setup
front for a novice or consumer. I think this is made worse by esoteric
requests by customers in the forum who don't get it.
The nightlies of the past few months have required some tweaks compared
to versions prior - many threads

When albums are split among folders, either you may need to do

this could have been done, but it takes some additional intelligence

Hi Sherm,
Thanks for the offer but I don't even know what metafalc is so I guess
I don't use it.
I'm amazed there is not a simple solution to this problem?

As someone who has also been frustrated with this behavior, you can do
what I do. Download and use version 6.3.1. This version treats
compilations the same as prior versions and sorts compilations into
single albums. Today, I tried 6.5.2 in the hopes that it was changed,
but no such luck.

hey peter,
after about a month of frustration, i did find a solution to this
problem. it took writing a perl script to rearrange the data on disc,
and then run a complete clear everything and rescan library with
6.5.1. now,
Any solution to this problem yet guys?

It's fixed for me in 6.5.2, all my various artists now show
correctly.

Hi all,
Firstly, I'm new to this forum, so hello to all...

latest version of slimserver on XP. I'm not sure when it happened but I
noticed a while ago that there is a problem with compilation albums.
Each track on the album is

There's a setting where you can define whether you want them grouped or
not. Did you check this as well?
What exact version are you using? Latest means tonight's build?

Im not sure whether its actually my setup / os problem or bug. Since v
6.3 I have an issue with compilation albums. In most cases they are no
longer kept as a single entity by slim server when scanned but
completely randomly, are split into many albums. Each listing holing 1
