Ok, something is absolutely not correct with Squeezecenter - or at
least my version of it - now 7.3.1.

I have 3 tracks, all in different folders /artist/album/track
All the same album name.

TAGS have ALBUM name the same, COMPILATION=1, no ALBUMARTIST or ALBUM
ARTIST.  Individual track ARTIST tags set correctly to individual
artist.

Squeeze has settings - Group Compilation Albums Together = Yes.

Artist view in Squeeze correctly shows Various Artists.  Click on this
and it shows THREE instances of 10 Things I Hate About You.

Album view shows THREE instances of 10 Things I Hate About You.

Tried with the Ministry Of Sound album, same TAG setup (and it is the
same I have checked) and it all works.  ONE instance of the album in
album view and correctly under Various Artists in Artist view.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I can see is the FLAC lib version used to encode
the tracks.  Can someone please look into this.  Is there something
very different in FLAC v1.1.2 that does not handle COMPILATION tag
correctly or is Squeeze simply ignoring the hadling of this library
codec?

Very confused and to be honest getting fed up with Squeezecenter. I may
have to revert back to v5 - yes v5, that's how long I've been using it
and not upgraded - because it worked in v5.  It was a different
database then I think!

Sorry for the rant, but its very frustrating - any help much
appreciated.
