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? |

First think of some combination of tags that will be the same per album and different when the album changes. Then use it as a group string.

Not the columns? Well these songs have the same genre, same label, so how could make a combinations so they appear as a group? |

YES! This worked perfectly! I arranged them by Album Artist and they are all correctly grouped and arranged. Thank you so much! |
