Summary0003873: Album Artist > Various appears for tracks that have a common Album Artist
DescriptionAs described at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20620

some users have libraries in which tracks which Album Artist = X all appear under Album Artist = Various.

I was never able to reproduce this, however, recently, a user sent me a set of tracks with which this is consistently reproducible.

The tracks can be downloaded via:

(the zip file also contains a db, however, you don't need it--just scan the files and go to Album Artist > Various and be amazed)
TagsNo tags attached.

Fixed in build 1099.

This actually revealed several problems (all fixed now):
1. Most serious: The feature that automatically fills in the missing album artist on scan (so that compilation albums aren't too often split to many 1 track albums) caused a DB corruption where track showed different Album Artists in different views.

2. WMA specific: Tracks with Album Artist filled in in tags were considered as if Album Artist wasn't present.

3. A small improvement: If all tracks of an album are missing Album Artist, on most of them Artist = 'A1' and on some Artist = 'A1;A2' (or similarly), Album Artist is automatically filled in as 'A1'.
