Has the bug with "Album Artist" been fixed?

For about a month I have been unable to play any compilations. It’s because the bug, acknowledged by Sonos, that was rolled out like a month ago. With the bug, all albums are sorted by song artist, rather than album artist. This makes many copies of albums. I have some albums where it gets listed 20 times!

I can’t imagine this hasn’t been fixed yet - it’s been a month. If it has been fixed, what do I need to do to my system to get everything right again?

Yes, I can got to folders in either the sonos app or Sonopad, but for compilation albums it’s not a great solution. I don’t always remember what folders they are in. tx.

To clarify… nobody talked about that as a solution. It’s just a workaround to use folders till the compilation album bug is fixed.

@DeanShaw

What you see depends on the tags, file names and folder structure of your library source. I can confirm that it shows the same using the Sonos app or a third party app. And also folder view for me work with both apps.

Not here it’s not. On the Sonos app folders now comes up blank with just a search bar at the bottom. It was working fine before that though. Seems different folks are getting different problems.
