Server Version#: 1.39.1.2763-300bb607

Hi

On the PlexAmp app you can open the library and scroll down to to “Compilations”, when I do this not all of the Compilations I have one my server are listed.  
Using the Plex desktop and choosing to edit an Album there is nothing I can find to list an album as a Compilation. Also on the albums that are listed as Compilations there is nothing indicating this.  
Is there a way to edit the albums to list them as Compilations?

Cheers

Graham

There’s actually 2 separate things going on when it comes to compilations.

1. Plex will display a category for compilations that lists albums with `Album Artist` set to `Various Artists`.

2. Plex is using metadata from [musicbrainz.org](http://musicbrainz.org) to categorize releases, e.g. albums, soundtrack, singles/eps, remixes… and compilations. You currently cannot change that categorization inside Plex (though a lot of users have started doing some clean-up on musicbrainz… with all their reviews of those changes that can take some time to tickle down into Plex).  
There’s a feature suggestion asking to add an option to override the musicbrainz release type category → [Music Release Type - Manual Edit - #6 by mr\_mustard](https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-release-type-manual-edit/762258/6)
