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? |

QUOTE (Bryter @ Apr 4 2010, 14:59)  Didn't know that foobar cares how you store the songs on folders... It don't cares unless you told it to. disc one and disc two in your screenshot were unsorted and you told foobar to display by %discnumber%... Also the unnecessary tag removing might have had an impact on your grouping too. This post has been edited by Gapkiller: Apr 4 2010, 22:05 |
