Title: Albums posted into Various Artists
Post by: srosen on May 04, 2022, 03:42:39 PM

Hi, I have a problem where I have four albums for the same artist and one of them is posted in to Various Artists for no apparent reason? I have checked all the Tags comparing the miss-posted album to the albums correctly grouped by Artist and cannot see any differences. I have also tried all the permutations of enabling sorting by Artist and Album Artist as well and this doesn't make any difference either? Any suggestions please?

Have a good look at the "Album Artist" tag.

Yup, that's done it   :)

Although the albums correctly grouped together didn't have this tag filled in, but once I did change it for the missing album it then was correctly grouped with them?? Anyway, it worked and that's the main thing!

Thanks again.

Point of information: when the Album Artist tag is blank, MB assumes Artist equals Album Artist.
