Is there anything I do with playback rules to help fix?

I suggest sending a debug log (step 4b) to support: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69

Here are rules that I show.. again all I want is the the Album title to show by default when I sort by "Summary", not show "Unknown". Also, the tag properties show album/artist as blank unless I click in the field and then it populates with the artist.

Player = $if(<Artist>,<Artist> - ,)<Title>

Art = $if(<Album>,<Album Artist>,<Artist>)
$if(<Album>,<Album>,$if($viewmode=3,$if($groupcount=1,<Title>)))

Is the Album Artist populated in 1465 for the files that show unknown? Are you sure that you're showing Album Artist in the Summary column (see Tools > Options > Playback Rules)?

I am using build 4.0.3 1465 and still seeing the same issue. I can send screenshots if that will help.

Thanks, that's it. Not sure what solution would be best, but honestly from a user's standpoint, the way it functioned in mm3 was never an issue. Showing "unknown" is a big problem because I have to now manually tag every song with the album/artist. Not a big deal with a few songs, but becomes cumbersome when there are many tags to do this with.

Probably this bug: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8599

In version 4.0.2.1462, when I view a folder under music/location in "Show Art with Details" mode, in the "Summary" column the artist shows as "Unknown" for all songs in that folder, even if they are different artists. When I go into the tag properties, the album artist is populated correctly. The workaround is to make a change to album artist and hit ok, then the "Summary" column displays the correct album artist.
