Hi, I've been using MusicBee for several weeks now, it's really great.
I'm wondering how albums from various artists should be tagged, for example film soundtracks with songs from different artists.
I thought the most logical thing to do was to leave "Album artist" empty, but then if I filter by album (in the MUSIC tab), MusicBee displays the same album several times (once for each different artist in the "artist" tag). It makes it hard to play the whole album in the right order.
I tried using a keyword like "Various Artists" as album artist, but then if I filter by genre for example, a lot of tracks appear under "Various Artists" instead of the "artist" tag. "Various Artists" doesn't mean much in this context. I'd prefer to see the tracks under the actual artist (= "artist" tag) with the proper thumbnail.
I checked the "Sorting/Grouping" section in the preferences. For "the following fields define an album", I have 1: Album Artist/2: Album Name.
Am I missing something ?
Shouldn't MusicBee consider "Album artist + Album name" as the only key to identify an album, and not take "Artist + Album name" if "Album artist" is empty ?
I use MusicBee 3.0.6276
Thanks.
