    Given that it's a cosmetic issue with a known workaround (tagging your
    tracks properly with the compilation tag), I highly doubt that any work
    on that issue would be targeted at a point release on the 6.3 branch.

      Think of having a TV with 700 channels that you have to wade through every time to find the 10 you want to watch, not really just a cosmetic issue. Also there seems to be a large number of people who no matter how they tag there wma files still cant sort it out.

        There is no more development work going on with 6.3.x. That pretty much says it all. 6.5 recently had a major rework of the various artists issues and should solve the problems users are seeing with 6.3.x. If you wish to give it a try, it is available as a nightly download, and will soon be available as a "stable pre-release" build as well. You can also wait for release and hope that it fixes the issue for your specific case.

          Thanks, I am running SlimServer on a QNAP device, so will have to wait for an official release to be ported over.
