Having a look through more of the albums, I found some without any composer tags (or with composer=artist) and they display correctly, i.e. 1 album with 15 songs by 1 artist. I just want Slimserver to look at the artist tag and ignore the composer. > Might be related to the problem above.

The only thing I can think of is there being rather a lot of different composer combinations (i.e. songwriters) within that particular album. > I'm not completely sure about this but I think SlimServer will create a > new album for each directory, so I don't think you shouldn't split the > discs into separate directories if you like to see them as a single > album. I could put them into single directories, but I suppose I'm a bit fussy in how I organise the structure of my music collection. If I have a CD set, I like to keep the discs in seperate directories for organisation, but set the ID tags to have it show as one album when browsed on a digital music player. Why is the folder important to slimserver? When I browse the collections it gives me each disc as the same album name (from the tags), ignoring the folder names. What exactly does the 'Group Discs' option actually do, then? I would have expected Slimserver to ignore the underlying file structure (or at least have an option to do so) as surely that's not relevant in a properly tagged digital music collection. As I said, my Creative Zen manages happily just using ID tags regardless of the file structure. -- DoomWolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DoomWolf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37135 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
