Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice from the more knowledgeable folk on here regarding home made compilations. I've tried a number of times to add some compilations into Kodi, and each time it messes other things up and I have to start over. I'm assuming there's something wrong with my approach.
All of my albums are tagged using MusicBrainz, with the obvious exception of a few home made compilations, and Kodi then correctly matches 95% of the albums. When I try to add a compilation album featuring a song/artist previously added to the library, it renames the existing album with the compilation name. I use Mp3tag to edit the tags for the compilation albums, such as:
Title: Track Name**
Artist: Artist**
Album: Sound Test
Track: Track Number**
Album Artist: Various Artists
(**Variable per compilation)
All other tags are left blank
So, in the example above, an Album previously added to my library by Amon Amarth entitled 'Deciever Of The Gods' becomes 'Sound Test', along with any other albums by artists featuring on the 'Sound Test' compilation.
So, can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?
