I am new to the community. I am having an issue with the Music Library and I hope someone can help or explain. i have some CDs that I have ripped that are Sampler CD compilations. I have a number of CDs that I had picked up at various audiophile shows that are sponsored by hifi manufacturers. As an Example, NAIM handed out a CD which contains various artists and tracks. When I index this CD to the library each track is separated from the normal track list and is individually listed in the Artists section. How can I fix this so that these kind of CDs are treated like a normal CD where all the tracks are listed in order?

If you use a tag editor, you will find the tag „album artist“. There you have to enter the same thing like for example „various artists“ for each track of the compilation.

As above a good tag editor is a great tool.  You can then add album are and embed it on the tracks that will show on any device you play than track on.

You can also decide to have your own prefered tag set up.

I use Mp3tag, and Albumartexchange website for decent cover art that is not a large file size.
