Title: Assorted Artists Views in 9.1
Post by: jgourd on September 25, 2003, 12:54:37 pm

In 9.0 I could show assorted artists albums as a grouping item. Can I do this in 9.1?

I lamented the loss of the automatic (multiple artists) view scheme too.

It's a simple one to recreate though.

First I decided to exclude all tracks from compilations from my "Artist/Album" view scheme by adding "-autoalbumartist=multiple" to the crieria on the scheme properties.

Secondly I created a new view scheme beneath "Audio" called "Compilations" and gave it the search criterion "autoalbumartist=multiple". Set this scheme to honor the parent and to populate the tree (Grasshopper...) and it will only list your compilations. You need to decide what columns you want displayed in the main panel.

Hope this helps.

I think the column / field you're looking for is "Album Type" or "Album Artist (auto)"

You can use either in view schemes, searches, columns to show, etc...
