Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/322

I'm using Beets to manage my music collection, and it has the nice ability to mark an album with multiple artists as a "compilation", effectively treating it as one single album. For instance for Acoustic Love has the "compilation" flag set properly :

ffmpeg version 3.0.2 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers
  built with gcc 5.3.0 (GCC)
...
Input #0, mp3, from '01 You're Beautiful.mp3':
  Metadata:
    title           : You're Beautiful
    artist          : James Blunt
    track           : 1/38
    album           : Acoustic Love
    disc            : 1/2
    date            : 2005-09-26
    genre           : Rock
    TBPM            : 0
    compilation     : 1  <-- This is the compilation flag

This is what Koel sees :

Can the current behavior (one album entry per (artist, album) tuple) be possibly altered for such a case?

EDIT: Almost forgot, Koel version is 2.2.0.

Uh, seems that I don't know how to use search properly. I'm closing this then, thanks for pointing it out! :)

@fxthomas I'd still mention the compilation flag in the other issue - make sure he's aware of it as a way to identify these albums in case he doesn't already know.

I'm using such a flag, but encountering some difficulties with editing – the fields are too dynamic now. Besides, I don't really have much free time recently :(

@phanan That's okay, I've been wondering about koel for a while and just started testing it yesterday! :)

I'll let the discussion continue in the main issue.
