0 = False, not a compilation 1 = True, a compilation Setting COMPILATION=0 should explicitly turn tell SlimServer that an album is not a compilation. Try also turning off the server preference for automatically detecting compilations. Doing this in combination with using explicit COMPILATION tags may be what you need to keep from having to use the silly "common album titles" thing. In mp3tag I loaded up my whole library of 8000+ tracks and set COMPILATION=0 on every track. Then I loaded up all of my compilation albums (a relatively small number) and set COMPILATION=1 on those. I also set all of the ALBUMARTIST tags to "Various Artists" on the compilations. They end up getting grouped under "Various Artists", but without looking in the SlimServer database I couldn't honestly tell you if it's because they're marked as compilations or not. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21944 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
