Question about the licence model and browsing through music

[simbun]

Think we need to simplify this as things are getting confusing.

I believe the COMPILATION=1 and Artist values appearing are/were two different issues, so let's tackle the Artist values first.

If all albums with COMPILATION=1 also have AlbumArtist='Various Artists' then you shouldn't see any other Artist values from the Artist index after selecting to view Compilations (as that's what the Artist index does), but you will see the track artist when viewing at a track level.

To test this, select 'Audio Type Filter'='Compilation' and then have a look in the Artist index. If all files have been correctly tagged the index shouldn't even be there, but if it is go to 'n items' and look at the 'Show Metadata' to find the path and have a look at its tags.
