problem with various artist albums & a feature request! (2 Viewers)

[mbuzina]

One of two things:
- if your album is in one single folder, empty db, select "Treat songs in one folder as one album" (or similar) and scan your drive.
- Check your MP3 tags values for Band / AlbumArtist Tag. If this is set to "Various Artists" for all songs belonging to a compilation, then it will be one album if you select the Various Artists option.

Hi, i'm using the latest SVN.

If I choose the Album view in MP the Various Artists albums are shown correctly once, but is it also possible to play an entire Various Artists album when using the Genre view (which I prefer)?

What I want to do is for example:

Genre->Rock->Various Artists and then all the Rock albums with Various Artists should be shown. As it is now when I choose the Genre view and then Rock I get all the artists and if I choose one for example Radiohead and then a Various Artists album where Radiohead is on I only see the one song featuring Radiohead.

To sum it up: Can I play an entire compilation cd with various artists when using the Genre view?
