[slim] I wish double-disc albums were handled differently....

2007-02-09 Thread Meatwad650

I have a lot of 2CD albums (usually mixes...AVB's A State Of Trance 2005
for example) and what I've done is made them 1 album, and used the
disc numbers in iTunes.  So when I tell it to play the album I get both
discs.  SlimServer breaks them up into two albums even though they're in
the library as one.  Can I do anything about that?

Check under Server Settings  Behavior  Group Discs and select Treat
multi-disc sets as a single album and you should be all set. If not,
re-check your tags. The DISCNUMBER tag works fine for FLAC files, what
format are yours in?

I just retag them as a single entity with track numbers in a continuous
sequence.  As the filenames are usually numbered, I renumber them, too,
in the same way (MP3tag is very good for doing this sort of thing). 
Then I put all the files in a single Album folder.  

Result - the whole thing plays from beginning to end without a break. 
(Why should I want to mimic changing from one non-existent CD to the
other?  The fact that the Album originally came on 2 CDs is an artifact
of the limited storage capacity of CDs.  There's no need for our much
more flexible computer-based system to import these artificial
constraints.)
