redundant albums in playlist(foo_touchremote)

hello,

i'm using foo_touchremote plugin with my ipad. all is well.

but sometimes each individual song creates an album entry. instead of all being in the same album? (it happens only with some titles)

i have latest foobar. foo_touchremote 2.8.4, and latest updated "remote" app and iOS6.

so wierd... you can see i have Romantic Adagios selected but the list that is displayed is that of the Gold album. inconsistency, maybe the Remote app is no longer kind to foo_touchremote. or work better with another device. i will try.

i tried both devices(Ipad and Iphone) same thing, installed latest iTunes and Bonjour. and even tried another plugin with "monkeymote for foobar2000" app.

something is messed up with my EAC ripped libraries. i will try to see why

i found what was wrong, it's the way remote app was sorting albums.(it uses "album artists" instead of "albums", so albums with various artists will show up individual)


i changed the Album Artists criteria into %album% instead of $if2(%album artist%,%artist%)


it's working now, but ofcourse no support to any app that requests album artists anymore.
