Album View-Compilations

[simbun]

Hi Gocus,

From your description I've assumed a certain file naming scheme, but given you're using XLD (not iTunes) I'm beginning to doubt that, so before we offer advice could you please confirm how your files are stored, specifically, how the tracks belonging to a compilation are stored. Typically they'll all reside under a single parent folder, with subfolders for each disc.

The most common file naming convention is:

Code:

AlbumArtist/Year - Album/DiscNumber/TrackNumber - TrackTitle.m4a

This will be stored on the File Naming tab in XLD Preferences.

Typically for compilations AlbumArtist is set to 'Various Artists' but an alternative (again from iTunes) is to have a compilation flag set, could you confirm what approach is being used?

I'm afraid I'm not on a mac so my ability to talk you through these steps is limited.
