Compilation CD's, Yet Again

(1/2) > >>

cycler2:
Some (but not all) of my compilation CDs appear as multiple albums in "Album" view in MC16.  I searched Interact and found many posts about this, which, in summary, state that "MC thinks songs belong to the same album if they have the same "album title" and "album artist."  Made sense to me, so I invoked the "tag" dialogue for each instance of the compilation album.  I found "artist," "name," and "album" input boxes, but no "album artist" box.  I inserted the same name for "artist" "name" and "album" but the ripped cd still displays as multiple albums.  I am missing something and would appreciate some guidance on how to persuade MC16 to display compilation albums as one.

Clicking on the icon on the left of the Tagging Window header reveals options for what tags to display.

You need to tag the “album artist”
In the tag panel there is a drop down button in the upper left corner.
Choose “show all tags”

Alternative: choose the album and display all the details (the tracks).
Right click on any column and choose “album artist” to display.
You can use multi line editing to populate it with e.g. “Various Artist”
