I have given up waiting for Sonos to resolve the album fragmentation issue and I thought I would go to the effort of correcting the tags myself to resolve the issue.

On the source material the albums have the correct Artist names on each track and Album Name but “Album Artist” is blank. 

I tried putting “Compilation” in the Album Artist tag as some have suggested. This resolves the fragmented Album representation in Sonos but I notice that this then creates another issue; The Artist is no longer searchable (even though it is correct on each song and appears correctly in the info display).   All the Artists appear under a new “Compilation” Artist. This is sub-optimal

Has anyone found a solution for the fragmented album issue that retains the ability to identify and search on each individual artist?   

Hi ​@Editor 

Sorry to hear of this issue you are having with searching Artists via the Album Artist tag - thanks for reporting it, as it does not sound like intended behaviour to me!

Thanks also for the break-down of the behaviour that you supplied in another thread.

I have shared your reports with the team - I will update here when I hear more.
