I've just changed "Filter genres at the album & track level" to be "Only show tracks or albums matching a selected genred for the artist". Now both the web gui and the player's displays do what I'd expect them to, i.e. just show the Various Artist's album tagged with the genre I've selected. How

This bug definitely exists! I saw it in early January. At the time it looked to me that browsing Various Artists under any Genre returned every album in my collection... but upon reflection it may have been only every Various Artists album. I was busy with rellies and had no time to look at it. I

I haven't checked to see what SS is currently doing, but my interpretation of the "Filter genres at the album & track level" settings are: "Only show tracks or albums matching the selected genre for an artist" is self-explanatory. Will only show the tracks that match, not all songs on an album

What you're describing sounds different -- or at least a special case -- of what I'm seeing. The two albums are clearly in different directories, so SC should recognize them as different. Interleaving them is definitely not right. But when you turn on VA, are you getting all your VA albums when y
