USB Music Tagging

[Tez~La]

I have a few "Albums" that have a compilation of artist.
When I look it up on the USB Screen under "Album" I get a list of all the Albums but the compilation album is only show individually.
In other word am unable to select the 1 album with all the artist on it. I will get 15 albums of the same name with one song on each.

Hope its clear, kinda confusing to read it.

I would like to be able to select the "Album" and have all various artist on it.

I feel your pain, it's brutal trying to listen to a complete album with other artist in the tags.

I really don't want to retag my flacs

Please see this post USB music - folder structure? "Embedded" cover art? and others in that thread.

IIRC, you'll want to give all tracks in an album the same "album" and "artist" tags, even if it's a compilation album. You can put the actual artist info in another tag and/or in the track titles.

I use the folder mode when I want to play a compilation album. It's the only method I've found.
