<p>In my experience artist-album field is an auto generated field to group albums sensibly in the album view.</p>
<p>Multi artist albums are auto set to 'various-artists'-albumname across all tracks so that a multi-artist album is not broken up between all the contributing artists- it is kept as one album for playback.</p>
<p>Jr media center deals with this particularly well.</p>

Should it be set to the same as the Artist field?<br>
I do not understand why applications just do not use the Artist field<br>
if that is the case?<br>
An example would help?<br>
<br>
Also what is the best method of handling multiple disk albums? You<br>
have a folder with "Album Name Disk 1" and "Album Name Disk 2" but<br>
should the Album tag be just "Album Name" so all tracks are combined<br>
together and set the Discnumber field to the appropriate number?<br>
<br>
Finally on Various Artist disks there are always track I do not<br>
particular like. Is there any method of tagging these so a player<br>
ignores thems? e.g. add IGNORE or something in the comments field? It<br>
seems a pity having to delete them?<br>
