Hi,

Sorry for my English.

I organized a genres tab:
- Left sidebar : Library explorer grouped by Genre category
- Left main panel: thumbnail browser grouped by genre
- Main panel: Album and Tracks view with :
         - Grouping header : Artist
         - Detailed list : Album, Year and Genre


However, the same album cannot appear twice in a row. Instead it brings together different artists under one.


If the same album is separated by one or more others, it works.


The solution is to add the Artist tag in Preferences-->Sorting/Grouping



But by doing this my albums with multi artists are not grouped together in the Cover view.


Is there a solution?

Thanks,

phred

Try using <Album Artist> instead of <Artist>
But if the <Album Artist> is blank then you'll see the same result because when empty, MB treats <Album Artist> as <Artist>.
If you have multiple artists on an album, you should make <Album Artist> be something like Various Artists.
