Re: [Banshee-List] What is the album-artist issue?

[Michael Martin-Smucker <mlmartin13 gmail com>]

[Banshee-list just sent me an email letting me know that my message was too big and needed moderator approval. �Since I have no idea when that will happen, here's the message again without the attachment. �You can find the screenshot here:�http://martinsmucker.com/files/banshee-compilation.jpg�]

I think this is the issue you're talking about. �Basically, compilation albums aren't grouped together in �Banshee's album browser unless the user ticks the "Compilation Album Artist" checkbox in the track editor. �This has always been the case, but the issue is a much more frequent complaint now that Banshee shows cover art in a grid by default.

When people complain about this, it would probably be good to point them to Banshee's user guide (at the bottom) [1], which explains how compilations work in Banshee, as well as the relevant bug report about making this more intuitive/automatic.[2]
