Hi, on Mac I convert with [Album Artist] or[Artist] at top level but would like to have compilation album have top level be the [Album]. I set a compilation album songs to have [COMPILATION]=1 but when I convert Batch Convert still outputs Artist at top level. My tagging string is "[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]/[album]/[track] - [title]". Please advise.

Music ripped into FLAC. Not sure if compilation was specified then or not in dbPowerAmp. In KID3 on Mac I saw no compilation tag so I added 'Compilation' and set it to text value '1'.

If you have dBpoweramp, right click on the FLAC, then Services >> Edit ID Tags in dBpoweramp

it should say:

Compilation 1

in the tag editor.
