You might try setting ALBUMARTIST to "Various Artists".

Re: [slim] Compilations - appearance in the LMS interface

2021-07-18 Thread kidstypike


All my tracks have an Artist tag.

I don't use the Album Artist tag, all completely blank.

I don't use the Compilation tag, not "1" or "0", all completely blank.

In LMS any album that doesn't have all the tracks with the same Artist
tag is classed as a compilation. That's fine by me, it doesn't bother me
one jot. I don't browse by compilation.

I changed "Various "Artists" to "(compilation)" at LMS > Settings > My
Music tab > (below)

This is what I see when I browse to a compilation Album at > Home > New
Music > Album xxx. (below)

And what I see when I browse to Home > New Music, if it's a compilation
album. (below)

Are there additional settings in LMS?

I would rather NOT have all the artists in the compilation appear at the
top of the interface as shown.

Exactly this. 
The only reasons to use the Music Folder option with an SB player are
surely
1) the files have not yet been scanned or
2) the tags in your collection are rubbish

I assume that when browsing their library using "Browse Music Folder",
the OP would like to see a thumbnail of the album art instead of a plain
folder icon, as in the second picture below.
