This has been posted about many times.  Sonos claimed a year ago that this was fixed, but also posted that it wasn’t a bug, but a feature, requiring us to manually change tags in every compilation album. I guess that means I should give up on this “feature” ever being fixed and, per recommendations, I downloaded mp3tag.  Changing album artist to various artists worked for the three albums I tried.  

So my questions is, for those who know tagging and mp3tag better than I, should I just go to the “compilations” folder in itunes and select all songs on that tag and make that same change, rather than going albuum by album?  Seems that would work but I hesitate to make such changes, since they’d be, I assume, impossible to undo if it messed things up. 

 

Thank you.  

Hello ​@amz67, welcome back!

Have a look below at our article in regard to the Music Library - Album Artist metadata change:

We recommend adding the text "Various Artists" to the Album Artist tag for each and every file on albums with various artists. Most tag editors will allow you to do this for all compilation albums in one fell swoop.

As you are talking specifically about a 3rd party tool, with my response here your thread moved to the top of the latest activity list. Maybe another Community user with knowledge of mp3tag can chime in and assist further.

I hope this helps.
