As you can read above I've been tagging all songs of an album with the same Album artist and used the Artist field for the actual artist. According to this wiki page this way of tagging is wrong: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Compilations . For some odd reason you cannot have an album with the same Album artist for all songs - at least one song must be tagged with another album artist - how weird is that? Anyway this caused me having empty directories when browsing by Artist on the Squeezebox Touch. -- Ronni ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ronni's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46917 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87858 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
