Assume you are talking about the case when disk numbers are to be treated as multiple albums. In this case because the tags are indicating different disk numbers, they should be treated as multiple albums, because that's what the tags are indicating. Why should it guess differently? >> iTunes for example displays a simple grid of data. It will show what it >> has read from tags.

It's correctly doing nothing. _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
