Compilation Albums and Artists

General Discussions

I have various compilation albums, with different artists - within the mp3 tags i have it set as

Title - Song Title
Artist - Song Artist
Album Artist - Various

This ensures the album is listed as a single album and not split all over the place

But the problem is that if I search for an Artist, none of their tracks are listed on any compilations, I only get to see their own albums.

In any other music application, it shows the correct information, so can’t understand why it doesn’t show in Plex and there is no information on compilation albums in the guides.

If you change the View By setting to Tracks, searching for Artists will capture individual tracks.

thanks - it would be good though if the artist was listed under ‘Artist’ and you could click on them to see the tracks - or you could have the display on albums and it worked - if you go to the home screen and perform a search it lists all the tracks, so not sure why when on album/artist view and do a search
