Audio Compilation Albums

Is there a way to create compilation albums from audio by different artists?

You can use group_by="audio_album" in your jrCore_list function to list by album. If that is what your looking for?

You can create a compilation playlist. Does that help?

I believe what he is after, but could be wrong, is like a various artists album. Ie something like "That's what I call Music" etc.

Why not just manually create the album by uploading the songs to a profile?

I think Gary is closest. I run a shop that is also a label and magazine. I want to have Artist Profiles with songs and then sell compilation albums which pull songs from various artists. The key is that I want an album I can sell.

I know I can list them various ways, whether that's via a playlist or building out a template page with the right jrCore_list.

I've tried Tagging songs and that works really well too. I love the Tag module. It's very versatile. I use it more and more all the time.

I could just dump all the songs into one profile, but I don't like that the jamroom player lists all the songs as by Artist Name. In that case, the artist name wouldn't be correct.

Plus, I also like having the different artists because they will have their own albums and other merchandise too.

It would be cool.

You could create a bundle of all the songs you want on the album, then create a playlist with the same songs and list both on a page, just a suggestion.
