dmaker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Very new to Musicbox, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. In Collections, Albums, each song from an album is listed. Can I not have albums listed that I would then click into to get a song list? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hi @dmaker, usually this is because the song metadata is incorrect in the music file tags. It can be fixed by editing the songs and putting them into the same album and artist. Let me know if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaker Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hmmmm, that would be quite a bit of work as I have quite a few compilation type albums where this seems to happen most frequently. I'll have to do some file housekeeping and keep the compilations out of my Musicbox library, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually this is because the compilation albums are missing an Album Artist tag, which is the proper/industry-standard way to identify albums with multiple artists. Apologies for the extra work, but there isn't really any better way to handle compilation albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Oh, the proper way to handle compilation albums is to put "Various Artists" into the Album Artist tag for every song on compilation albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaker Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thank you for the replies and suggestions. It's not a huge deal and I understand it is no fault of Musicbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
