Because you have set ALBUM ARTIST=<anything>, by definition it is not a compilation, because all songs are grouped together to belong to the same album artist. Having set an album artist, if you also want to make it a compilation you have to set a COMPILATION tag too (either a custom tag called COMPILATION, or if you are using id3 tags, you can set a non-official frame called TCMP, which Apple invented for iTunes). You should decide to add the COMPILATION tag when you want to make an album a compilation, but may be not all of these albums should be compilations - eg. an album artist of "Soundtrack" may not be a compilation if all songs are performed by the same artist. If you have an album that has varying track artists, SBS will automatically detect it as a compilation *only if* you haven't set an album artist. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
