Okay, I have an idea, but I can't test it because I'm literally a few thousand km from my SB setup. On compilation albums, if you browse by artist SBS will normally show you both albums in which that artist is the only artist, as well as compilation albums on which that artist has one or more tracks. If you drill down on one of those compilation albums, then it only shows the tracks on which that artist appears as a track artist, not the tracks on which the artist does not appear. This is normal (some may debate whether or not it is correct, but it's normal).
When you drill down to the compilation album(s) by album artist Hifi, you don't have any tracks by artist Hifi. So maybe that's why it is showing as empty. I have an album that is similarly tagged, though for completely different reasons. It's a tribute album on which a lot of different artists do Greg Brown songs, but Greg Brown isn't on any of the tracks. I put Greg Brown as ALBUMARTIST because I want it to show up with his stuff when I browse by artist, and COMPILATION=1 because it is a compilation from different artists. When I get home I'll take a look to confirm that it does indeed show up with his other albums, and secondly, what happens when I try to drill down to the track level. In the meantime, others who know the ARTIST, ALBUMARTIST, COMPILATION interactions better than I may happen by to give you some good advice. I know what works for me, but there are tons of other combinations and permutations. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87858 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
