Description slav 2011-01-12 14:21:20 UTC
if there's tracks by different artists w/ no album tag, then it all shows up under Various Artists > No Album regardless, and doesn't show up under actual ARTIST name

Stage 1:
Music libary set to 'Group Compilations' and 'List by band' contains:
-a named album (album tag) tagged as compilation=1, with Artist = Track Artist (eg Trainspotting Soundtrack)
-an unnamed album (album tag=<blank>) not tagged as compilation, with Artist = Artist (eg The Beatles)

Here - everything works fine, the Browser by Artist shows 'Various Artists' (w/ Trainspotting the only album) and 'The Beatles' (w/ 'No Album' the only album)

Stage 2:
if you add another unnamed album to the above example, but by a different artist (eg Cracker), this is where the problem starts.

Now, when browsing by Artist > Various Artists, a 'No Album' shows up, that contains all the 'no album' tracks, even thought they're not tagged as a compilation (eg you see The Beatles, and Cracker).
Furthermore - those artists, now no longer show up under Artists (eg can't see The Beatles or Cracker, just Various Artists).

This behaviour show up w/ the WebUI, SB3 & SB Radio.
Using 7.5.1, 7.5.2 & the latest nightly of 7.5.3
