How can I set minimserver to only show one album for this view? or do I have to change my tagging scheme?
I'm using streamMagic6 as my control point

Do you have a folder structure with artist at the top level? If so, the compilation album will be split between multiple folders (one for each artist) and MinimServer will create a separate album for each of these folders.

To prevent this from happening, you can either change your folder structure so that the whole album is in a single folder, or you can set the mergeFolderAlbums property to true. This setting will merge album tracks from separate folders into the same album.

Note: To make merging across multiple folders work for a multiple-artist album, you need to have the AlbumArtist tag set for all the tracks of the album. For example, you could set this to 'Various Artists' or 'Compilation'.
