AFAIK Apple _invented_ the nonstandard TCMP tag, so they clearly "got

I think the problem here is that "clearly not compilations" varies
according to the viewer. Let's turn
A lot of Albums that are clearly not compilations are flagged as such.
So, while it sounds like a smart feature, the way it works now it is
more of a defect :)
Speaking of workarounds - I prefer the "Classic" skin.
But it also suffers when displaying Compilations. Instead of just
indicating "Albu
Well - you might think its brain-dead but it seems reasonable to me!
Anyway, I'm glad you've found a way to make things work for you.

Actually the problem is the braindead automatic Compilation detection in
SqueezeServer. (They should add a switch to disable it!!!)
If you have an album by Artist A, and just one track is played by guest
artist B, the album is listed/sorted as compilation.
Thanks to your links I've found that yo
Ah - yes well spotted!
If you are going to use the ArtistSort tag (I don't as it happens) then
you have to apply it consistently. No DBMS is going to handle valid but
conflicting data.
I couldn't understand why one would put "Various Artists" into an
ArtistSort tag...

I am referring to the "Artistsort" Tag.
In my case (MP3/ID3) this is the "TSOP" Tag, but it also exists in
Flac/Vorbis where it is called "ARTISTSORT".

What's "Artist Sort"? is that a tag (or are you referring to an entry in

In fact, the problems is:
If you have a track with

and another track, on another album with
Artist="Foo" ArtistSort="Bar"
the outcome on SqueezeCenter seems to be random.
All the albums and tracks belonging to that artist are either sorted

Famous last words. Check for APEv2 tags. If you drill down to the track
level it should say where the tags are being pulled from.

How is your disk directory structure organised?
iTunes and wmp handle tags differently to SC.
