Hits albums all being lumped together - a Various Artists bug ?

Version 6.2b1 - 3998 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 I have folders structured Z:\artist\album and correct tags. If I have, for example, several artists with albums called "HITS", it will read it as one album under various artists with many track 1s, many track 2s etc... and different artists for each one - NOT as it should be - isolated albums under each artist.
server settings->behaviour, Common Album titles. you should be able to enter "HITS" there and rescan. The the server automatically groups tracks with those album titles by common directories.
Sure - but that's a bit silly isn't it ? This would be about 30 or 40 album titles at least for me. Surely, doing it logically would be better - ie. just check if the artist is the same in the same directory ? The whole idea with something like SlimServer should be that it has complete logic and that you don't spend hours re-programming the database to bypass quirks. :) Still lovin' the Various Artists feature though ! I have gone down from over 2000 artists to 425 !!! such is the sorting power of Various Artists !!! :)
yeah...isn't it. well tell that the users who bitched about that exact scheme when it first came out. not everyone seems to agree that an album should have to be in the same directory :( guess this one will just be yet another of those never possible to fix type bugs.
