  2. Collection album w different artists, each artist displayed as separate album

    Hi Team,

    I have a few compilation albums of dance music which contain tracks by several different artists. I've imported one of these albums (90s Eurodance) to my phone- and the phone is listing each track as a separate album, instead of compiling them as one single
    album. (This makes the album unplayable from a user perspective, as I would have to go in and select each song individually after each song finishes.)

    I can certainly understand that these would be listed separately in the "artists" folder, but that's not what's happening here.

    Can you please suggest a solution?

    Groove Shows Unknown Artist & Unknown Album


    I solved it by doing the following! I'm not sure which step cracked the problem.


    1. Set indexing to index the content of my music files by right clicking on the top level folder, setting the option and applying to all files and sub-folders
    2. Rebuilt the index via the Control Panel Indexing options
    3. Deleted the folders watched in Groove
    4. Deleted the Groove database at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_<random>\LocalState\Database
    5. Started Groove
    6. Reassigned the folders to watch

    All songs now appear with the right artist & album but some album art was missing in Groove and Media Player despite being displayed correctly in iTunes. I manually updated the missing album art in Media Player and Groove then synchronised to match the Media Player album art.

  4. Album artist glitch

    Artist > Album

    Windows Media player 11 if you have.

    The "Contributing Artist" tag is the one that gets linked to the album like the "Album artist" tag.

    At least that's how it seems to me. When I select which tags it must show WMP has the Album artist tag on the list but it just refuses to show it. So there's a chance I'm wrong here but with all my music it's the "Contributing artist" tag that is being linked.

    If this doesn't work in your reply include a list of the software you have access to, it will make it a lot easier for you to get help even if it's from someone else.
