I don't think the COMPILATION flag alone will solve this, but I've been using it along with a DISC tag which does seem to work. Just set the DISC tag the same for each track. I use: COMPILATION=1 DISC=0 I use 0 to differentiate from true multi disc sets, where I do uses DISC and DISCC. There doesn't seem to be any need for DISCC in this case, and I'm not sure if the COMPILATION tag is even needed. When I do this, I don't even see a disc number in the song info. I don't know whether it's because there is no DISCC tag, or because the DISC tag is 0. -- timrfletcher ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timrfletcher's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2981 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27746 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
