Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
If you have Toto on some best of or compilation check those files. It only takes one misstaged toto file with an artistsort or similar done wrong to sort all of toto this way.

Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
Some might consider Toto not appearing to be a bit of a bonus ;) Seriously though I find AlbumArtist usually fixes this issue. Mp3tag will show you where the problem lies if you look hard enough.

COMPILATION=1 forces the album to be a compilation, but COMPILATION=0 does *not* force the album to not be a compilation. I would call it a bug.

Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
Does it show up if you browse your music folder on the squeezebox ? Any errors in the scanner logfile? On 2013-08-27, at 1:43, zune01 wrote: > > I have a very weird issue with my Squeezebox setup.

Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
That's a very good point. But it doesn't necessarily take a COMPILATION tag to do this. If you have one or more tracks on any of those albums with a different ARTIST tag, then it will be detected as a compilation and appear with the other albums under Various Artists. With the default server settings, Toto would be seen only as a 'track' artist and would be kept out of the artist list. There are two ways this could happen. One if you have a guest artist added as an additional artist on one of the tracks, and the other is by having a track on an album sung by someone else. The simplest way to fix this would be to add an ALBUMARTIST=Toto field to the albums. Alternatively, you could add a COMPILATION=0 field that would keep the album from being marked a compilation. You might want to review the ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST fields in these files, however, just to make sure they don't contain some kind of error, such as a typo.

Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
You might find this under "Various Artists" at the top of your Artists list? You may have the COMPILATION flag set? tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99501 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
Very weird. Toto is still not showing up, and the interesting thing is that the individual albums aren't either! For example, I can search for "toto" and I do get a hit on the artist, but I don't get a hit on the album "Toto". But that might have to do that I removed ALBUMARTIST. I'll restore and try again... zune01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35098 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99501 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
I tagged it up with Picard a while ago, and it seems to have added ARTISTSORT ALBUMARTISTSORT etc, so I removed all but ARTIST with mp3tag and will rescan to see if it fixes it. zune01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35098 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99501 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Toto not showing up in artist list
Yes. The most likely problem is that you have an ARTISTSORT field in the tagging of one or more of the files that is sending "Toto" to some place where you can't find it. A good tagging program like 'Mp3tag' (http://mp3tag.de/en) (assuming you use Windows) would help you figure it out.
