Compilation albums with different artists

Post by Starbuck »

I have lots of compilation albums and in the album node, MM lists them all seperately under each artist as the album artist is different for each track.
I want to group all tracks in a album together and I understand to do this, the album artist has to be the same.

I want to have all my compilation albums have the album artist as "various" so when I view the album node(the main one I use), it will group
each album together.

What is the best/easiest way to do this? I've seen the create multiple album artist option under maintain library but I want a way to select every track at once
which has more than 1 artist on an album and rename the album artist to "various".

Just select all those tracks, right click, properties, and change album artist to Various.

But how can I list only the albums with multiple artists?

Once you have grouped all your compilations using nohitter's tip, just select "Album Artist > Various" in the Tree.

Sorry, what I meant to say is that in order to change all compilation albums to have the same album artist, how can I get media monkey to display all compilation albums so I can highlight them all at once to change the album artist without having to go through my entire library and select each compilation album individually and then change the album artist.
