hi!
since i copied my GFs iTunes repository from her iBook - about 30. some
of those show up 15x.
her iTunes is organized by artist, that is just the way it is.

No, you can be happy but not me.
The problem with such a setting is that it makes it even more

hi guys!
why does everybody seem to think my directory structure is at fault?
;-)
honestly, i think a file's location should be totally irrelevant to how
often it shows up in slimserver's DB.

album: Acústico MTV
track: 1

hi slimpy!
are you serious? hope not... ;-)
what you are saying implies that any directory structure which
separates tracks from one album will cause that album to show up

Yuo need to move all compilation tracks into the same directory.
Slimserver can't just group songs with the same album name together,
otherwise it would treat albums with the same name but by different
artists as compilations.
Easytag should be able to list your files by album.

Hi guys:
I have my Slimserver mounting a directory via NFS, and then reading off
that directory. The directory structure looks like:
