I was given a Play:5 as a gift and am loving it all except the library treatment of my album compilations.
I looked at existing threads and realize this is a known issue but one I find very annoying.
My music was all ripped to flac using Dbpoweramp and managed by Foobar2000. To avoid the nasty problem of multiples of the same compilation albums showing up I have always used the album title in ALBUMARTIST on the compilations. Works perfectly for me in Foobar2000 that way, just one album title shows up and I can still search by all individual artists on all compilations.
As many others have already found, Sonos search can't find those compilation artists.
Unless someone else has a clever idea I would either need to accept that huge annoyance in Sonos, or retag all my compilation albums
Sonos, please address this long standing issue
