In #603, left screenshot, the 3 first lines (
African Music - Benio
) are part of a compilation, but shown as different albums in Satunes (maybe because of the "Artist" field, different in each song ?).It becomes highly impractical.
My compilations are tagged with the iTunes specific
TCMP
frame, recognized by various players. But There also a different common way to differentiate compilations: UsingVarious Artists
in "Album Artist" tag. This is usually done inTPE2
, which unfortunately is pretty important for classical music, but do-able.What is the correct way to declare compilations, so they are seen correctly in Album view ?

Hey, yeah, at this time, if the same album has 2 different artists name it will be 2 different albums.
I'm also experiencing this problem.
I planned to check the standards about this case.
Thanks for the link
Hello @braoult ,
I modified how Satunes loads albums compilation. I would be sure I did the right choice.
Satunes now loads the music's artist and the album's artist separately.
Here's an example:
On the image, the album contains musics with different artist names. Satunes will add this album to "Armin Van Buuren" artist and to each musics' artist. Also, the album's musics won't be added to "Armin Van Buuren" but only in album's musics' artists.
Also, if the album is marked as compilation and the album artist is unknown, then Satunes will add the album to the "Various Artists" as album artist.
These images show you the before/after result:
You can find all modifications in this pull request: https://github.com/antoinepirlot/Satunes/pull/789
I hope this is what you ask :)
PS: don't worry, all artists won't be "Armin Van Burren" 😛
I added a new setting to let the user choose to add or not the compilation's musics to the compilation's artist's music list as for me both make sense
