Can you give some more details.

You have tracks without an album and after the import they are not in an album?
Sound's about right.

Or do you mean that tracks without an album are displayed under "various artists" if you sort by artist/album?

It also helps if you attach the output of the amarokcollectionscanner of the relevant directories.
Comment 2 JoeCoolSv 2011-01-18 15:21:06 UTC
ok. I'll try to explain better. my english is not very good

The audio tracks have the "artist name" - "name of the album" - "track
number" - "track name". And all are classified correctly. But when
they just have
a "artist name" - "track name", instead of being stored in its respective
artist, album name "unknown", these are classified under "various artists".

The previous version of amarok, did not happen, because the tracks with no
album, were classified in their respective artist under "unknown album"

I will stay pending to send you the screenshot. right now I am not in my pc
with linux.

Understood.
We already have a bug entry for this problem.

Tracks with no album are currently shown under the "unknown album" entry which is always a compilation, so it's also under "various artists".

Actually I think the behavior is correct in the case where you sort by "album artist" but not in the case of "artist".

Comment 4 JoeCoolSv 2011-01-18 17:20:20 UTC
ok, I understand.

I hope that soon corrected this problem that did not have the previous
version. I see 1500 tracks in "various artists" - "unknown album"
