Use MM (or mp3tag) to add ALBUM ARTIST tag, and enter, say, "Various Artists" as the Album artist on all these songs. (leave track artist as actual artist). Then change the album name of all these songs to the same thing (as I think you want these to be all treated as one big compilation album). This could be something like "Mixed Singles". Then add a COMPILATION tag (with a value of "1" without the quotes). Then in SbS settings select the option of listing compilation albums together (or something similar). Then do a clear and rescan within SbS. When you're done, you should have an artist listing of VARIOUS ARTISTS, and under this a single compilation album named "Mixed Singles" then under this all these songs, with track artists correct. But maybe I don't understand exactly what you're trying to do. I guess I think of the world as "rip all my CDs to FLAC, tag them all properly, with album art, then play the songs I want to play. I wouldn't want to just rip my favorite songs and create a giant "best of" mix tape for myself. I can use playlists to do the same things BASED ON having ALL the song tracks in my library. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81363 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
