So you'd want to see the 16 individual artists from a compilation album rather than just 'groove armada' or something? seriously?

Anywho, I've been poking around and I've got more of an idea about how the media player app looks at tags. Removing the itunes bullcrap from the tag and adding an "ALBUMARTIST" tag to it as well as a "BAND" tag seemed to work. (this is in mp3tag btw) I've reduced 3 compilations into their respective album artists now (woo!) so I'm super happy.

I'm 100% sure it's nothing to do with directories. I'd like to get more people in on this so we can figure out exactly what it is.

In my experience, mp3tag is the best software out there for getting nitty gritty with mp3 metadata.

cheers
