"Sizzly"]I've found the auto population of the album artist tag to be a bit... unreliable on import if you don't import it using the structure of /<album>/<artist> - <title> or a similar variant. If MM can't determine the album through the metadata or interpolation it will leave that field blank. The good news is that once a track is in MM it does a brilliant job (except on compilations) of auto populating that field when you make edits to the properties of the track.
Funny thing is , my directory structure hasn't changed, so i wondered why album artist isn't parsed anymore.
I don't think i need album artist so i guess i let it slide.
I usually just use autotag from web so I can get the album art and that seems to address the issue.
i use MM for audiobooks, alas, no autotag from web for books.....
