I am streaming music to Windows Media Player.
When I click to show all Albums is WMP if the metadata identifying to "Artist" is different I get lots of instances of the album come up in WMP. I would expect only one instance of the album to show identied by "Album Artist" and "Album" not the individual artist of the song.
Am I making sense? Is this a bug with Twonky or WMP? or am I doing something wrong. These are compilations and are in a subdirectory of a directory called "Compilations".
Is this a bug?
I have exactly the same problem and no matter what I try, I cannot get Twonky to recognise the album artist.
As a matter of fact, I spent the best part of 2 days trying to get this to work but to no avail. Changing the music tree structure didn't seem to make any difference whatsoever. Only changing the track artist seemed to make a difference which is obviously no good.
As a test, I copied a couple of albums to my local hard disk and added them to the media library in WMP 11 (Vista) which displayed correctly. The album artist was correctly identified and the individual track artist was listed as contributing artist. Most importantly, the album was only listed once with all artists and tracks under the same album.
The same 2 albums under Twonky in WMP 11 came up as 1 album under the same name for every different artist on that album i.e. it incorrectly identifies the album artist as the track artist. Under contributing artist, however, it displays 'unknown'
Does ANYONE know how to get round this? Navigating is a nightmare when you've got 100's of albums with about 20 - 25 duplicates of each album in the library!
As a point of reference, I am using TwonkyMedia v4.3 running on a QNAP TS-209 Pro.
