I like techno music, and I have a music organization problem regarding algums and compilations.

By compilation I mean a mixed album mixed by an artist, in which tracks of other arthis appears.

if I put in the compilation tag: song name - compilation artist - compilation name, the context browsers show there is a compilation when I play the ORIGINAL album, but when playing the compilation, the ORIGINAL ARTIST is lost, so the context browser says nothing about I have the original album also.

Anybody knows how to deal with this??

I found this initially, but decided it\'s an issue best dealt with by retagging. Following the musicbrainz guidelines, as much as possible, and using the format \"Main Artist - Title (feat. other artists)\" it\'s possible to work the system.

For example... Joujouka\'s \"New Asians\" album:

Joujouka - Intro
Joujouka - E-Wire.mp3
Joujouka - Image (feat. Akitomo & Masayan)
Joujouka - New Asians (feat. Bryan Burtonlewis)
Joujouka - Relax (feat. Native)
Joujouka - Let the Wave Flow (Instrumental Version)
Joujouka - All the Angels (feat. In Essence)
Joujouka - The World (feat. Tychoon Tosh)
Joujouka - You Wanna Tease Me Don\'t You? (feat.Tim Healy)
Joujouka - X-Rock
Joujouka - Don\'t Think... Feel (feat.Tadanobu Asano)

Note that because of the powerful search bar, it\'s still easy to find anything featuring the secondary artists as well.
