    Question Compilations

    Dears, I'm very delighted using Asset UPNP for two days however I struggle with Compilations.
    Having set the "Compilation" flag for all Soundtracks and CDs with various artists, I would like to see only one Cover image per Compilation.
    Could you please advise how to manage?
    Many thanks!
    All the best,
    Gerhard

    The album is being split up into mini single track albums?

    Yes, when I select Album using the Naim App I see as many albums as there are different artists.

    Did you set the Album Artist to be the same for all tracks? On the case for Compilations, this is typically "Various Artists" but could be others in some cases.

    I ripped with dbpoweramp and the Album Artist is always the correct one and never the same for all tracks. I set the Compilation flag = 1 when ripping compilations.
    In Asset UPnP options I activated the checkbox "[artist] - [title] for Various Artist album tracks" but Compilations still are listed as often as there are different artists and not only one time.

    The Album Artist has to be the same for all tracks on the Album to keep it listed as one Album.

    But that's not useful. What shall I do, if I have different artists?
    I thought, for this purpose, the flag "Compilation=1" in ID3 tag is used for.
    Minim Server for example is also able to deal with it.

    The Artist tag does not change. The Album Artist is what needs to be common to tie this album together. Otherwise ALL compilations albums will be listed together, also not desirable. Why would it not be possible for the tracks you have on question to jot have a single Album Artist value?
