Very interesting. I was wondering what's the point of these tags, since multi-disc albums can be easily handled without them by having different subdirectories for the different discs. But of course tags give you better control, for example enabling you to order the discs as 1 versus 2. I'm afraid I'm (until now) completely innocent of multi-disc albums with SBS, because I always either break them up into separate albums (for example, a set of Beethoven symphonies becomes one album per symphony) or combine them into one (for example, Chopin's Nocturnes on two discs becomes one big "disc"). In the latter case, I put all the tracks from both discs into a single subdirectory, give them all the same album name, number the tracks sequentially, and remove tags like DISCNUMBER. MP3Tag makes this easy. I do the same with pop: Bruce Springsteen's "Tracks" album, on four discs, is just one big virtual disc for me. I like the seamlessness this provides. It seems needless to remain yoked to the CD format with its space limits, which are arbitrary when the music consists of files on an enormous hard drive. Anyway, let that be that my excuse for not knowing that the DISCNUMBER and TOTALDISCS tags would cause files in different locations to be grouped into a single album. Another happy consequence of learning this is that it explains why my WMA files appeared to be being treated differently. Those files don't contain the DISCNUMBER or TOTALDISCS tags, since my WMA ripper doesn't add those tags when there's only one disc, the way dbPoweramp does. So, SBS treats the different file types consistently after all. -- 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
