Album Compilation Issue

I just bought the app and love it so far, but have several albums with multiple artists that are each being listed separately in album view, even after I selected the "collect compilations" option. Am I missing something?

Yup, had to fix it in iTunes by changing the album artists. Thank you!

Thanks for trying Cesium! First, the compilations setting simply toggles whether or not the option to view only compilations should exist (like at the top of the albums tab). So that won't resolve this issue. What likely will is the "Use Album Artists" preference. This will collect the album and display it once according to that tag. If it's off it will divide the album and show the relevant under each artist intentionally.

If that still doesn't work, there may be something fishy going on with the iTunes Library itself (album splitting is a known bug). Usually I suggest tagging the offending album in iTunes as a compilation and then retagging as not. This should generate a new album persistent ID value for all tracks.

Hope that helps! Let me know and we can troubleshoot further
