[slim] Re: Greatest Hits
The files need to be in seperate folders for each album. Otherwise SS treats them as compilation (same album name, different artists). Check to see if the album is listed under Artists - Various artists. I have three albums called The Antidote by three different artists and they are listed correctly (with SS 6.5.0 though) -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28489 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Greatest Hits
Perhaps not a purist solution but FWIW I got really fed up with seeing several albums called Greatest Hits in the album list, so renamed them all Greatest Hits - whoever. More usable and completely avoids this problem!

You have checked the box so that it uses 'Common Album Titles', haven't you? -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20749 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Greatest Hits grouping question
Yep (see above), originally it was un-checked. So I tried selecting it and re-scanning but the artists who only have a Greatest Hits album still don't show up under Browse/Artists...? -- joncourage joncourage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20749 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

joncourage Wrote: My Greatest Hits albums are getting grouped under Various Artists, even tho the artist tag is the same for each of the albums (eg Chicago, Aerosmith, etc). That kind of behaviour sounds a bit like the way that the compilation setting works. Try switching Compilation behaviour (just above the common titles) to List compilations under each artist. Does that change anything ? If so, it may be that those albums are mis-tagged as compilations. -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20749 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Greatest Hits grouping question
That must be it, when I change that setting the album shows under the correct Artist. I took a look at the tags (FLAC) using my tag editor and don't see anything that makes me think it's tagged as a compilation though. Not sure what that looks like so will try to compare to ones that really are compilations. -- joncourage joncourage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20749 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
