A few things I've seen cause this: 1. are there tracks with ARTIST tags that are different from others on the album 2. Have you set ALBUM ARTIST to be identical for all tracks 3. Do some tracks have Disk number filled in or Total Disk Number filled in and others don't. 4. Do some tracks have COMPILATION tag set? 5. Any other tag field that differs other than track number and title? I use mp3tag (tagger for all sorts of files, including FLAC), and it is great for finding these problems. Install mp3tag. Load up all these files from problem album, select all, right click and select "extended tags" This will show you all the tags in that file and you can tell whether some files are different from others, etc. https://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html *Home:* VBA2.5 4TB -or- rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 8.0.0>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 8.0.0>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet except Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *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=113302 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
