Blank values for “Album Artist” seem to be the most common problem. With 1.6 (released yesterday), I have added a setting that tells AlbumMixer to ignore the “Album Artist” field. However, that means albums with the same title will be shuffled together.

Thanks for the great app. I use it every day to shuffle albums while I drive to work. Most of my albums are playing fine. With other albums, the songs are not playing in order, or one song is missing from the album (the lone song gets shuffled as its own album). This seemed to be worse with filters, so I am currently not using filters.

I believe this is due to metadata not being set correctly on the songs. Can you post a recommendation of which fields of metadata should be set for AlbumMixer to work perfectly and which fields can be blank? I’m thinking of the album, artist and album XYZ fields (especially for compilations), as well as settings for the playlists used as filters to make sure the songs play in the correct order.

I hope my question is clear enough. If not I’ll repost to clarify. Thanks.

Quick heads up: version 1.6 should be available soon, with a fix for playlist selection in iOS 4.0.
