All good and nice. Could you please add this to Jim's bug report? In here it
will be lost and forgotton withing a few days...
Sure, although I was hoping to get some feedback, that my summary and
suggestions were in fact correct!

Really? In cases like this I do it the other way around. I would
never want Page and Plant to appear in the Browse Artists list,
only Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. And I would want this album to
appear under *both*. To achieve this, I tag as follows:

Not an iTunes thing - they use BAND I believe. iTunes is particularly poor in

Yes, I know that, but SqueezeCenter is written to look for a TXXX (ALBUMARTIST)
tag. It's an arbitrary tag, but one that SC specifically looks for. I use

You're right, the counts aren't terribly important. Which is probably
why the discrepancies have pretty much been ignored.
You can count the 'artists' for an
For albums. You never want to see all the artists listed in the
by-line for an album. You don't want to see 'The Time-Life Treasury of
Christmas' by 30 different artists. Nor do you want to see the

I'm a little less uncertain about BAND, which is widely used like album
artist, but maybe could be considered as a real contributor to a song, rather
than presentation/grouping.

Joking aside, I don't understand your comment.
Artist and albumartist are different contributor types. And as they aren't
identical neither they're three different in this case. It's probably
related to the VA searching issue I'm currently trying to understand: if I
have a compilation with
What about the composer? Would you consider him a contributor or not?
Maybe only the wording is wrong and we're not talking about Artists here,
but Contributors. Or the count is wrong as it does not only count the
Artist, but the other contributors too. Anyway we change it I'm sure

In the WebUI, if I browse to the album Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon
Garfunkel, it shows this as 1 album with 13 songs by 3 artists.
It's a little strange to say 3 artists. It is because I have tagged all the
songs with:
