When I saw my music by album all of my various artist albums show up by artist name and not as a single album. Is it possible to display these is a single album so when I want to play that one album I can do it from one place instead of creating a playlist? Also in general is it possible to have these multi artist albums be a single entry in Plex ?
If you use a ID3 tag editor. You can add “Various Artists” to the Album artist
field. Keep the artist name in the Artist
field. This will result in a single album.

So why does Plex have trouble with this where Winamp or I uses do not? Aren’t they reading the same id3 tags?
