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) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-compilations/767955)._
