The relevant code is <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/mythtv/mythplugins/mythmusic/mythmusic/metaioid3.cpp">http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/mythtv/mythplugins/mythmusic/mythmusic/metaioid3.cpp</a>

<div>Myth only recognises compilations from as defined by
Musicbrainz. I'm not familiar with it myself but it appears to
insert custom tag fields rather than use the 'standard' ones,
for some reason.</div>

<div>So your easiest option is probably to re-tag your music using
Musicbrainz. Alternatively you could investigate the Musicbrainz
tagging conventions (ie. use Musicbrainz on a test compilation
and inspect the resulting tags) & replicate that in your
library. The special compilation code is
89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377 apparently.</div>

OK, the code says<br>
// If the MusicBrainz ID is the special "Various Artists" ID<br>
// then compilation is TRUE<br>
<br>
I don't see a tag "MusicBrainz ID"<br>
<br>
so I set tag "musicbrainz_albumartistid" to <br>
"
<meta name="qrichtext" content="1">
Various Artists"
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
</style><br>
<br>
and still Mythmusic does not recognize compilation. <br>
