nah don't think you meant that at all, Radish. I can't see the logic of splitting as the OP did for VA albums. Scattering each track into a seperate folder like:
/John Duncan/1 Hymn.mp3 /Tricia Worden/2 Dear Friend.mp3 /Ui/3 Life Is Shorter.mp3 etc.. Makes no sense to me. It breaks Album Art unless you embed them in tags (which I hate doing, it only makes it more difficult to work with them that way) and makes it hard to find anything. Much better to do: Misc/State of the Union/1-01 John Duncan- Hymn.mp3 Misc/State of the Union/1-02 Tricia Worden- Dear Friend.mp3 Misc/State of the Union/1-03 Ui- Life Is Shorter.mp3 Then everything is close, easy to work with and behaves correctly with Slimserver as a bonus, either grouping VA into one or not, depending on preference... but most importantly it won't do what the original poster is seeing: making a new album for each track. Personally, I like the change in 6.5: it meant that I didn't have to keep teaching Slimserver about new common names: Best of, Acoustic, Acústico, Greatest Hits, Perfil, Amazing Grace, Exposure, etc. (I have at least one of each of those: heck, 3 copies of Exposure... all by Robert Fripp, all unique...) Logically grouping files together so that all tracks from the same album (or "disc" if you prefer to not combine discs... I vary depending on the work) works fine, and is the best way to organize things without getting into really annoying lists for common names. But then I'm speaking to the choir for that since you already do that. I am bothered that the OP said that the "right way" he was told here was to do: artist/album/track, which is only true if "artist" is really "albumartist" Using track artist there makes for a mess not only in slimserver, but also the filesystem. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30839 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
