My Compilation/Various Artists don\'t get picked up

Hello all my Various Artists mp3s are tagged like this


Artist: Various Artists
Album: Random CD
Title: Johnny - Song Title

This way when I set \"Mark as compilation\" it just thinks the artist is \"Various Artists\" and not Johnny, looks pretty ugly in the context browser too.

Is there some setting I can change to make amarok see Johnny as the artist? Or do I need to retag all my stuff

Yea but I have 200~ compilatons. And If i retag them they will break other things, I was kind of hoping there is some change I can make in amarok itself.

you can try advanced tagging programs, and set the artist tag from the filename.
I sometimes run foobar2000 (windows app) just for that kind of task. there\'s probably linux apps that can let you setup masstagging scripts easily.
