question about compilations

I just added The Thumbs to the database. I have noticed several compilations already in the database that The Thumbs appeared on. What is the most efficient way to link the Thumbs to these comps?

Even though a compilation is a single album, the structure of the database requires us to create a band/album combination for each band on the compilation. Therefore, if you add a new entry for the Thumbs for each of those compilations (the same way you did the regular albums), and if you exactly match the release information (title, labels, year) and set the compilation flag, the database will automatically add the band to the overall compilation display. Does that make sense?
To see what I mean, in the Search Tree box, type this:
20 Years Of Dischord

Thanks Mark.

That makes sense.
