Today I was going to organize my library a bit better with respect to album with multiple artists. I cannot figure out why some of my albums will engage the "(multiple artists)" folder when renaming/moving (F6) files, and some will not when clearly their are multiple artists under [Artist]. Does creating a [Album Artist] screw with this (because I like to attribute Album Artist to albums that are a tribute to that artist.
With MC22 the 'tag' window would indicate if MC had found multiple artists, but with MC23 you've changed things and I cannot find it.
So, I need to understand why some albums and not others, and how to understand and use the new 'tag' window...
TIA :)

If [Album Artist] has a value, [Album Artist (auto)] uses it for the album.
If [Artist] tags are the same for all tracks, [Album Artist (auto)] uses it for the album.
If no [Album Artist] tag is defined, and [Artist] tags are not the same for every track, [Album Artist (auto)] uses (Multiple Artists)

Thanks RD...
I thought as much. Rather than allow such tribute albums to be listed by other players (iPhone, Car) according to multiple artists, I thought it would be easy to exclude their import if they were limited to a special folder. The way MC is forced to handle these files forces me to instead leave the [Album Artist] blank until the files have been moved to their final place.
