GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 541334
compilation albums are separated
Last modified: 2008-07-03 02:10:40 UTC
Please describe the problem: When importing a collection of songs, Banshee seems to have a one-to-many relationship with artists and albums: an artist can have many albums, but an album can only be assigned to one artist. This means that when a compilation album is imported (different artist for each song) it creates a new album entry for each different artist. This should be a many-to-many relationship in that an album can have more than one artist and not split itself up. (See Rhythmbox [heh] for an example.) Steps to reproduce: 1. Import a set of songs from the same album but with different artists 2. Notice how the Albums pane has more than one album entry for the same album, but with a different artist Actual results: The Albums pane has more than one album entry for the same album, but with a different artist Expected results: There should only be one entry per album, even if it means more than one artist is displayed Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: If not default, at least make it an option in case there are some who think it should sort albums as it does now
