Artist name "Varies"?
« on: May 17, 2009, 02:19:32 pm »

I'm using the Genre view, and I'm showing "Artist Sort" and "Album" below the album cover.  It appears that for any given artist, it allows you drill down to the various albums for that artist.  For most it works fine, but I have a few where the artist says "Varies" and when you click the cover art icon, it scrolls through several unrelated artist cover albums.  Toby Keith and Elton John?  I don't know what it's combining these under "Varies" when the Sort Artist is correct for each, and they show correctly under other views.  Any thoughts?  I wish I could attach a picture here.

Check for any and i mean any differences between the track's artist names,as even having just the first letter capitalized will make artist show as "varies". Alternately check the Album Artist tag for anything weird :)

The problem is that it's putting albums for completely different artists under the title 'Varies".  However, it only happens in one view.  If I'm showing Album, Artist, and the Song List option, that's when it happens.  If I'm only showing Album or Artist, or only Artist, it's fine.  Therefore, it can't be anything to do with the tags.  It seems that something's wrong with the view.  I wish I could post a picture here.

I think I worked it out, but then I deleted everything.
