How do i make an album by various artists appear as a single album? I have added the "Album Artist" column and entered the "%album artist%" in the display field. But when i try to arrange albums that have various artists through this column, they appear next to one another but spread out, and i want them to be grouped. Under the artist field i have the correct name of each artist, and under Album artist i have "Various artists". This works on itunes, but not here on foobar.
Any help?

Yes, I guess so, so you should also add %album%... I forgot that I use 2 groupings on top of eachother, one for %album artist% and one for %album%. Oh and i use CUI but I don't think it really changes much between this and DUI...

I also set it up so that if the %album artist% is Various Artists, it shows the %artist% tag after the title, like this:

Cool. I just add a new column, haven't thought of that. I guess I'll just steal it for myself wink.gif
