I do this for tribute albums and similar. I would like the album artist to show up in the artist list and the album to show up under VA. I have noticed the compilation 0 behaviour and thought that the different handling of 0 and null values was a bug. With AA and compilation 0 the track artists were shown in the artist list (as well as the album artist, if I remember correctly). -- vagskal 2 x SB3 (wired), Receiver (wired), Boom (wireless), Controller, iPeng on iPhone 4 & iPad, muso on remote computer running Win 7 | 7.5.3 on Win XP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84475 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
