hmmmm, I'm surprised that file names would have anything to do with the reporting of total tracks in LMS. LMS is not reporting track numbers based on the filename itself (and your examples are all track numbers contained in filenames). In fact, as far as I know, LMS doesn't even use track numbers in metadata at all in terms of counting total tracks. I do sometimes find that LMS total tracks gets a bit "off". Most often I can fix this by doing a "clear and rescan" within LMS. Sometimes I find that I have a stray track added (by browsing to track via "browse folder" that got added to my LMS library without me realizing it. One thing I do to confirm that I have consistent libraries, is to compare the track count in LMS with a track count in foobar2000 (which is pointing to the same underlying music files). And I always make sure that each of my LMS instances (home, office, and cottage) on three different servers show the same number of total tracks. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102847 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
