1.1.0-rc4 Compilation or various artists are no longer grouped in a single entrance when grouping by albums
-
Hi all,
Since some recent update the albums that are compilations, or from various artists or even have different artists list in some songs don't appear as single album but instead one entrance for each album/list of artists, even choosing Group by Album.

The idea is that it separates albums that have different artist but same album name, obviously this won't work for compilations. I've fixed that now: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/f4ec3ab379d3e05477e563f0c89c7fb1f516e4e1
If you can try a development build when it's available. -
@jonas thank you. Yes I understand that it can be a problem with different albums from different artists but with the same name, I witness that being a problem in other music library and players.
But thanks for fixing it

@jonas Hi, is there any estimation when this correction will be available in a regular build of Strawberry? I've just installed version 1.1.3 (running on Ubuntu 24.10) and I'm still facing this issue. When grouping by Album I still get multiple entries for each compilation (one entry for every artist on that compilation) instead of just one entry for each album (name).
Thanks. -
@Popmartijn
The fix should be in 1.1.3.
Are you sure the album is marked as a compilation, does it show up in "Various artists" if you group by "Album Artist / Album"? -
@jonas No, I don't think the album is marked as a compilation. I've never marked albums as compilation when ripping them (with Asunder or whatever I used previously). I'm not using the Album Artist tag either (never had to). When I group by Artist/Album (the other grouping I often use besides Album) I see the artists all with their own entry and then the (compilation) albums below them. Apart from 3 or 4 songs I don't have anything labelled as Various Artists.
