I'm just trying to import all my Various Artists "compilation" releases. The wiki says:

My question is, why does step 2) exist?
I'm trying to import "Now that's what I call Music!" compilations which all have 2 or more CD's
I've tagged them with disk numbers and correctly with the album name but they still do not show as a compilation.
Any ideas?
Quote:1)Identifies albums based on Album name alone in the folder and groups the songs that have the same Album name together as an album.
2) Runs through each album's assigned songs. If there is 2 or more tracks with the same Track number, the group of songs must come from 2 or more albums, so the Album name is ruled out as a possible compilation.
3) If any of the songs assigned to the Album name have an Album Artist tag, then XBMC assumes the user knows what they're doing, and this album is also ruled out from being a compilation.
4) If two or more songs assigned to the Album name then have different primary artists, then the Album name is considered to be a group of songs from a compilation, and the Various Artists" tag is assigned as the album artist.
5) Otherwise, if all the songs have the same primary artist but don't have the same full artist list (eg a song or two has an additional artist) then the album is assigned the primary artist as it's Album Artist, and we assume the additional artists are guest artists.
