[QUOTE="hwahrmann, post: 544336, member: 10391"] This is how i have it The individual Tracks have their Artist Name set. In the AlbumArtist i use either the name of the compilation "Lazy Sunday", which is most often also the Album Name. Sometimes i use also the genre or year as an AlbumArtist, so that i have all "Chill out" Samplers or all "60s" Sampler together. The tracks have the Artist Name set. AlbumArtist = "Andy C" Incomplete albums, i store physically in a folder named "_" in the artist folder and have the Album Tag cleared or set to unknown. full album rips as the smahing pumpkins above go physically in their own folder Artist\Album and are tagged with Artist / Album and the track has "Aeroplane (live)", mostly it is the same name as the Album. This is tagged as a normal album, i just use the "Part of media tag" to indicate that this is Disc #1 and Disc #2. I don't change the numbering of te tracks, so that Disc 2 starts at TRack #4 in this case. The Album Tag for bothe discs has "Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness". No "(Disc 1)", etc. appended. The tracks show then within MP as 101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203. This is a workaround in Mp to get te correct sort order. in MP2 we will solve that differently. I'm doing the same thing with Bonus albums as just above. However to clearly separate that this is a Bonus disc and not a regular Disc 2, you could append the word "(Bonus)" to the album name. Then you would have 2 discs shown in MP. This is how i'm doing and i find the music i want to play very fast. I'm sure there are a number of other suggestions, which i'd like to hear. [/QUOTE]
