I took your advice and upgraded to 7.9 and the functionality that I was
trying to achieve is now built in and working perfectly. I'll stick at
this level until I'm sure that Erland's plugins still work in future
updates. Thanks to you all of you for steering me in the right
direction.

For a long time, I've been juggling an issue with the Browsing function
in LMS for Various Artists albums.

want LMS to think is a comp. but strictly speaking, that's just a
preference, not necessary.
A lot of bands have an album called best of, or greatest hits, etc...
bc I also use other software, not just LMS, I put the band

To provide another option; I use the compilation tag for recordings that
are either;
- from different artists (I leave album artist blank)
- from same artist (for example Beatles 1) where the recording is like a

Thanks everyone for the detailed replies. I will save this to refer back
to.
A lot more flexibility with tagging/sorting than I first realised. I'm
only a basic user but I do like things to be "correct".
I didn't even know until I started searching, there where so many tag

I recall that's true in my own case, using mp3tag and ID3v2.3 tags.

Thanks.
That sounds perfect.
On a different note:Only just discovered the use of ";" or "\" so just
