I don't think it is the nonstandard genre. I have lots of those. It may be related to how LMS deals with artists that are ONLY in a complilation album. (this may have been changed in newer LMS versions, but at least in the old days this was an issue.) That is, if an artist is ONLY represented in a compilation album but nowhere else in the library, that artist name didn't show up when browsing by artist. One needed at least one track in a noncompilation album with that artist name. Something like that, this is all based on memories of things a while back.... So, maybe your DIGEST artists are only represented in compilations. take another noncompilation album, give it the name of one of the artists in the reader's digest comp, and see if that makes the DIGEST albums show up.
