[QUOTE="Furetto, post: 130906, member: 12375"] I read the forums every day and get a lot of interesting info from it. Been meaning to publish the story of my MPbox, might get to it some day... My question is the following. I have created folders in My Music called _artists _billboards _classic _soundtracks I mostly use the Artist view, as I have the impression that using the db is much quicker than the share view (over 10k songs). To avoid having an artist entry for every single artist that sings a song in one of the soundtracks, I don't index the _soundtracks, nor the _classic for obvious reasons, nor the _billboards. If I go to shares view, I have access to the rest and can play a whole Soundtrack. But the database adds this album and so I get an entry for every artist. I fiddled with the settings from My Music setup (running latest SVN) but found no way to avoid played tracks to be added. As an alternative I thought of changing the artist in Various Artists everywhere, but then I lose this information for display in Now Playing window... Any clues on a way around my issue ? [/QUOTE]
