I'm not using cue sheets. Multiple tracks are mutliple files. I've tried having both single track albums and multi-track albums and I get the same behavior either way. Namely, all the tracks are simply dumped into a single album by SBS. "The Lark Ascending" is the value of the ALBUM tag. Sometimes it can also be the value of the TITLE tag, but that varies -- and it doesn't seem to matter. The ALBUM tag together with the ALBUMARTIST tag is what determines this. The behavior I'm seeing (admittedly without trying every possible variation) is that if the values of these tags are the same, then the files are listed together as a single album, no matter where the files are stored or what the values of any other tags are. Unfortunately, my little trick of making the TRACK tags the same value (for instance, 1) has stopped working. I don't know why. I've tried YEAR tags with both same and different values. I've tried COMPOSER tags with both the same and different values. There usually are no CONDUCTOR tags; when there are, their values differ. File name example: 02 The Lark Ascending, romance for violin & orchestra.flac The directory hierarchy is generally: ARTIST1 \ALBUM1 \ALBUM2 ARTIST2 \ALBUM1 \ALBUM2 In the "Lark Ascending" case, therefore, the albums were all subdirectories of a single artist's directory. But lately I've been testing with files in album subdirectories of different artist directories. As I said in my other reply, I think all that is needed to replicate this problem is to make the ALBUM (e.g., "Greatest Hits") and ALBUMARTIST (e.g., "Smith") tags the same. I would be curious to know if anybody else can get this behavior. -- dpotts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dpotts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80886 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
