Thanks. You lost me there. I am still new to all of this and I am struggling to understand the tags. I rip using dbpowerAmp and with compilations (2 Disc sets), I type in the 'Artist' field the text 'Various Artists'. In the 'Album' field, I type in the album name, for example 'Best of 70's CD 1' for the first disc, and then when I rip the second CD, in the Album field, I type in 'Best of 70's CD 2'. In the Artist field on the right side, I type in Various Artists as well. By doing this, all of my compilations will be auto saved in a Various Artists folder in my NAS, so in my Various Artists folder, all my compilation CDs are in there. Funny this only happens to 2 of my compilations. I've got a few more, some with 3 CD sets and I have no issues. I do not touch any of the tags details in SB Server software.
