Compilation and NOT Compilation
cbsoundman - 3-30-2005 at 08:19 PM

This has been driving me crazy.

Don McClean had an album called "American Pie" and so was the soundtrack named "American Pie" for the movie of the same name. The Don McClean album is not a compilation but the American Pie soundtrack is. If I check the box in the edit program to make American Pie a compilation, Don' McClean's album gets checked and if I uncheck it, American Pie is no longer a Compilation.

I tried renaming Don McClean's ablum, attaching the art and unchecking the box but, when I rename it back to "American Pie", the box gets rechecked and either song's edit box wants me to set its picture for all.

I also get this for Goodfellas from the movie soundtrack and from the 504 Boyz. Any suggestions or maybe a way to turn off the automatic compilation check whenever I want to.

Also, when you do a "Set 4 All" on the Genre, it seems as if it affects all titles by that artist. I would be OK with it if it were the album only. Some artists contribute to Soundtracks and some artists span many genres over the course of their development.

Probably eJukebox realized that he is really called "Don McLean" instead of your "Don McClean", maybe once you spell his name correctly, eJukebox will work ;-) ;-)

PS: Sorry, couldn't resist...

Nope, tried that too....It still does not work.

I have it spelled right in the tag. I posted this from memory. I guess I need to get that checked.
