I've only just started with MediaMonkey, and I'm loving it so far.
Is there a way for compilations in the album view to show "Various Artists" instead of a random artist from that compilation?
In the screenshot attached, I'd like the various Acoustic compilations to show "Various Artists" in the artist field, rather than Paul Weller/The Bees/Moloko etc.
They're all tagged as compilations in the metadata, with "Album artist" set to "Various Artists"
Edit: I can't upload the screenshot to the post, even with a space in it.

You may need put the spaces in the right place in the URL (we'll fix it after).
1. Is Album Artist set to Various Artists?
2. MMA can't show Album Artist value as Artist value.

"Album artist" is set as Various Artists, but "Artist" is the song artist. So there's no way for mma to show the former rather than the latter?

In place of Artist, no.
However Albums should show the Album Artist value, not the Artist value.
