Setting for compilations?

(1/1)

Tunedelicious:
I have compilation albums with various artists. Other music players <cough -- iTunes -- cough> let you designate an album as a compilation so you do not see twenty albums containing one song apiece, and of course you can play random tracks between various albums. Is there a way to do this, make a track part of a compilation instead of it's own album, in PonoMusicWorld?

Heck, is there a way to play tracks in a shuffle mode on the player, in case you want to hear more than one album straight through?

Thanks, all.

l8mdl:
To shuffle, go to "songs" and press the double arrow icon (all), center bottom. Done! You can also shuffle songs within an album this way.

blgentry:
Compilation albums can be grouped together correctly using the [Album Artist] tag.  Just fill out Album Artist with a single value and it will group all the tracks into an album properly.  I use this string for compilations that don't have specific artist as the main theme:

(Multiple Artists)

This makes these albums sort first in an Artists view, because of the parenthesis sorting before A-Z.
