Importing various artists in ONE album, not 15 - how to ?

[jsthesilverman]

Hi guys,
I am trying to import my mp3s only by using the information from the id3-tag, by checking "ignore folder". After importing everything is fine except for those "various artists" albums. For example for a "Cafe del Mar"-CD with 15 artists, I will get 15 albums in my music mainpage. All my music is sorted like this:
D:\music\artist\album\artis - title.mp3
All tags are correct and synchronized in both versions (V1&2)

xlobby should ignore the structure anyway, but it does'nt. I always get 15 times the same "Cafe del Mar" album on the album page, each with one song from one individual artist.

Would be great, if anyone knows how to solve this. I simply would like to have an album structure for all my albums, including variuos artist ones.
A one-album one-album thing

maybe its lost in translation but you are not making since to me.

All my music is sorted like this:
D:\music\artist\album\artis - title.mp3 ....I simply would like to have an album structure for all my albums, including variuos artist ones.

If you want an album structure why is it sorted by artist? How would Xlobby know various artists are their own artist name or their own album?

A one-album one-album thing

What is a one album one album thing anyway?

What I did for various albums is made a folder called various artist, with all my various albums in them. It imports how I want.

Hi Colby,
thanks for your reply. What I wanted to say is that I cant't get xlobby to import an album with various artists into one album. I will always get one icon for each artist. That means that for one "Cafe del Mar Vol,1" I will get as many Thumbnails in xlobby as different artits are on the album. On each thumbnail I see Album and Artis.

Only if I sort my mp3s like this:

D:\music\ALBUMNAME\ARTIST - TITLE

I will get one thumbnail in xlobby after importing the directory.

Is it not possible to tell xlobby to simply use the album-field from the id-tag for importing?
