Hi all,
I originally posted in MediaPortal Talk forum but decided it should really be in Support so I've deleted my original post to post in here.
Basically most of my albums are dance mix CDs so as such they're "compilations" in that rather than all tracks being by one artist, they're all by different artists. In My Music I use the "Albums" view in "Big Icon List" layout. What I see is not one icon/list entry for each of the compilations but one of each compilation for each artist that appears on the album. Each of the entries for a given album therefore has only one track in it since MP seems to think it's multiple albums with the same name, each from a different artist.
Can anyone help me to get My Music just to display each compilation album once with all the tracks in there? Anyone familiar with itunes will know about the "Group compilation albums when browsing" feature, something similar to that is what I'm looking for...
Really hope someone can help, the reason I moved away from using MCE 2005 was because despite showing compilations as one album, it *insisted* on ordering the tracks in them by artist name rather than track number, meaning the tunes in a mix played out of order...
