After stripping out the ALBUMARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST tags with MP3Tag, I noticed that I had another artist field in mp3 only tags called BAND. I removed that as well. Then I tried it again, and it was a little better, but still several hundred artists are gone (800 about). I then looked at my compliation albums that I ripped in FLAC, and there was another field, called ENSEMBLE, with Various Artists in it. I removed this as well from all files. I rescanned again, and it was better, but I still was missing 600 artists. I gave up, reinstalled 6.3 and rescanned again. Now, I have a bunch of albums that are cut up. All are various artists albums, and I could not figure out what the heck is wrong with them. I restored the old, unedited files that worked fine, and rescanned. Same problem. All my compilation albums messed up. I would have three albums with the same name, with 4 or 5 tracks in each one. All the tracks and artists were there, but I suddenly had 70 more albums. I was baffled, so I decided to remove all my playlists and rescan again. Once the playlists were removed, my libary returned to normal. I then put the playlists back in the correct folder, and had SS just scan the playlists. Everything was fine. Sorry about the long story, but I am getting to the point.... Finally, I reinstalled 6.5.1, removed the playlists again, and scanned. MY LIBARY DATABASE IS CORRECT!! But...when I click on the artist "Various Artist" it shows all my albums (not just the compilations). 4. I click on any album, the contents are blank 5. Click on "various artists" in the path above (Home/artists/various artists/...) 6. I get all my compliations. And they are browsable.
