Windows App presents compilation albums as individual tracks

As topic. The Android phone app works as expected, e.g.

If I search for “A State of Trance” under albums then it displays 1 album (comprising 5 discs) from my library (on my network share) and I can play that whole album. Same for the “Random” album, a Gary Numan tribute album comprising multiple artists. However, in the Windows app, under albums it presents as individual tracks. Using the web app is not an option of course because that doesn’t even support my own libraries at all, only streaming services.

Unfortunately Firmware 16.4.2 has not fixed this bug n my MacBookAir (OS Sequoia). The compilations albums are all listed as individual songs, as in All Night Long on screenshot

Have you re-indexed it since the update?

For me re indexing wasn’t necessary.

Are you sure that all of your compilation tracks are tagged the same for album artist?

Same here. Indexing wasn’t necessary. My compilations all looked fine simply by applying the Firmware update. It is my understanding that Sonos will address the outstanding issues that others are having in upcoming update.

It is possible to fix this yourself as long as you don’t want to list your collection by individual artist or composer.

I am not sure how that would qualify as a fix. If you have say a ‘best of the 80s’ compilation album, you *want* to have all artists visible in the artist section. It's just that when looking at the album list it should just say ‘Best of the 80s’ once. This is how it used to work without having to forcibly remove information from my songs.
