When talking about the example: In my example the Album artist should be set to "Michael Jackson" (also for the audio comment from Quincy Jones). In your example the Album artists should be set to "Abba" and "Chris Norman". How about continuing like this: add a new test case that checks if Albums with different album artists are not merged. Then we change the code so that also this case works. If you split up albums with different track artist, then you are in principle eliminating all compilations, right? - Ralf ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
