When using MediaMonkey Pro on my phone, sorting by album artist does not function properly. Rather than grouping by the tag [Album Artist], the app groups by the last listed artist on a given album.
For example, I have an album titled "Best of the Nineties" containing tracks by several different artists. I entered the album artist field for this album to be "Best of the Nineties Artists" and the artist field to be the artist on a particular track. When sorting by album artist on my phone, "Best of the Nineties Artists" is not a category. Instead the entire album is filed under album artist "Will Smith", the artist of the last track on the album. My intention was for the sorting to be - [Album artists]>"Best of the Nineties Artists">"Best of the Nineties">(every track on the album) instead I have - [Album Artists]>"Will Smith">"Best of the Nineties">(every track on the album). Related to this issue is the sorting under the tag [Artist]. The progression I get is - [Artist]>"Will Smith">"Best of the Nineties">(every track on the album) when searching for Will Smith but when I search for Tupac I get - [Artist]>"Tupac">"Best of the Nineties">(the one track by Tupac).
Also, this is in no way an issue on my computer. Album artist tags work fine in this case. In addition, the folder structure on my phone's SD card is identical to that on my computer. To use the above example ... Music/Best of the Nineties Artists/Best of the Nineties/(every track on the album).
TL;DR: My theory is that the album artist tag is replaced by the artist tag for the last track on the album, thus when sorting by album artist, it appears as the artist of the last track and when sorting by artist, singles appear under the correct artist but the entire album appears under the artist of the last track.
Thanks!
