Fiddling with Compilations

thanks for answering. But there are two issues with your solution.

1) just details....The Compilations this is happening with are not necessarily stored each file in a single folder. Once the "compilation Tag" is applied all files do live in one folder - no matter who the artist is...

I was not suggesting that you remove the Compilation tag. If you do choose to remove the Compilation tag and therefore don't have all the files in the same folder, you can set the mergeFolderAlbums property to 'true' to ensure albums are merged across different folders. This can cause problems if you have multiple albums with the same name, so I think the best approach would be to leave the Compilation tag set and not set the mergeFolderAlbums property.

Quote:2) The more important - I tried to apply your solution:
But once I copied 'AlbumArtist.default={Album}' to the field, I will get an error "incorrect tag 'AlbumArtist' for option 'default' in property 'tagValue'

Do you have an idea what I did wrong? From a theoretical point of view the solution sounds absolutely sufficient to me and would spare me some serious hours of tagging...

To prevent this error, you need to add AlbumArtist to either the iitemTags or indexTags property.
