[quote=paultaylor]I think the basic premise is that for Various Artist albums users would like to use Album Artist rather than Artist so that the album tracks don’t get separated. Because Jaikoz lets you do things at track level rather than folder level I use the compilation flag to achieve this, because Various Artist albums should always be marked as compilations.
Why not use Album Artist all the time because often is is not populated.
Also I think some people like to keep their Compilation’s albums separate from their ‘Original Albums’,

Hrmm…right now I autocorrect, then make sure if it is an album like “Songs from the 80s”, that each track has an artist (used in the mask for filename), then album artist is “Various Artists”, so the mask for folders uses %bestartist% to stick those tracks into a folder named for the album in my various artists folder. I guess it works for me since I try to make sure the album artist field is populated. I guess having a compilation mask works even if the album artist isn’t populated.
