You need to talk to Mr. Sinatra about this as he seems to have it figured out. It doesn't work the way I want it to but I haven't ripped any lately and forgot how I got around it. I did just rip some and used various artists as my albumartist but SC doesn't see under various artists. I end up just using folder view or album to access it when I want to play it.
