I've qualified and published 7.6 beta firmware for Squeezebox Radio,

I understand that UPnP uses a whole other paradigm, namely that the
client normally asks the server for a specific file (pull), whereas the
SBS pushes a certain stream to the client. So my question was if the SBS

I use ARTIST. I can't play them because it lists 0 tracks, so I'm
unable to select a track.

When you guys talk about a "compilation" what do you really mean ?
Is SBS using it's compilation indication for something else than
removing artists from the main "Artists" menu and putting their albums
into "Artists/Various Artists" ?
I feel that I've probably missed something and "compilation"
