Navigate to a genre, press and hold Controller center button on Various Artists item, select Play, note playlist created. Navigate to another genre and do the same thing. The same playlist as before will be created. In fact, from now on that same playlist will always be created whatever genre is chosen. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69647
I should probably add that these are the settings I have.. errr.. set. * Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists (all choices checked) * Group compilation albums together (checked) * Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist (checked) * List albums by all artists for that album (checked) * Only show tracks or albums matching the selected genre for an artist (selected)
More Info: I've discovered that the reason that the Chilosophy 3 compilation was returned when "Any Genre > Various Artists" was selected was because it had "Various Artists" written into its "Album Artist" tag. I have now removed the "Album Artist" tag and rescanned. The result is that when I hold down the Controller center button on "Any Genre > Various Artist" and select play on the resulting (context?) menu *nothing* plays. :-( This means that the bug title is now misleading and that there could be two different bugs instead: 1) Selecting to play "Any Genre > Various Artist" gives no tracks to play whereas all the compilationn albums tagged with the chosen genre should be played. 2) If an album is tagged with a specific genre and has the text "Various Artists" included in its "Album Artist" tag it should not appear for every genre when "Any Genre > Various Artist" is played. I hope this makes sense to someone.
7.4.x milestone is in the past
does this behavior still exist? (yet another VA issue)
