I found an existing thread on JRiver and compilations, but it was from 2007, so I felt a new one would not be inappropriate.
I use JRiver for tagging. I have my own system for naming artists for classical music - which, when it works, is perfect for me. The artist is an amalgam of the composer and the principal performer. So if I have an entire album of Heifetz performing Beethoven, the artist would be Beethoven Heifetz. If the album has some music by Beethoven and some by Mendelssohn, the artist for some tracks would be Beethoven Heifetz and for others would be Mendelssohn Heifetz. JRiver would then insert (Multiple Artists) in the Album Artist field.
Switching over to Squeezebox/LMS, when I drill down to select music, I almost always go through genre/artist/album. This gets me where I need to go for single album artists. Sometimes it does for multiple artist albums as well. If, for example, I only want to listen to the Mendelssohn concerto, I'm there. But often, I want to listen to the entire album.* In that case - when things go right - I can go to the information screen for a particular track of the Mendelssohn where it lists the album. By selecting that I get the entire album. In other cases, I do the same thing, but I still only get the tracks related to the particular artist - Mendelssohn Heifetz in my example.
What do I need to do to get the entire album in all cases using this procedure?
* A workaround is to drill down through albums, instead of genres, but this has drawbacks for me, outside the scope of my question.
Edit - OK - now that I've posted the question the problem seems to have vanished.
