The culprit: I had cyclical (redundant) shortcuts to certain music folders. Since I can only specify one folder for Slimserver to scan, I plugged shortcuts into that folder, directing the server to other folders. What I failed to realize is that I had duplicate shortcuts, leading to the same folder. With previous versions of Slimserver, this wasn't an issue - it knew that the shortcuts pointed to the same file, and included the file only once in the database. With 6.5, it counts the file with each scan. Long story short: if your playlists show the same file multiple times, I recommend checking your shortcuts.

Hi. I've had a number of versions of slimserver over time, but when I upgraded to 6.5 and rescanned my music library, many albums (not just compilations) suddenly show three listings for every single individual song. Albums are only listed once. So, for example, if I go into an album with 11 songs (and I've validated that there are only 11 files), each song shows up three times for a total of 33 songs. When I look at song info for the dupes, they show the same path and the rest of the info is identical. I've clear the library and rescanned a couple times, and I get the same effect. My SlimServer is running on Windows XP. All of my music is under a single directory on an external hard drive. I don't have any playlists and I use a tag editor to clean up the tags. From the URL's that I see when I hover over each song in the SlimServer interface, it makes it look like it scanned the library three times consecutively or something. Hard to tell. Any suggestions?

So you have set Group Compilation Albums Together in Server Settings and have compilation set to YES and you still don't have them grouped together? I'd be interested to know whether it's actually set to 1 and TagRename is displaying it as 'Yes'. Try mp3tag (it's free), select a track and press alt-T and you'll see the literal tag content (there may be a way to do this in TagRename, but I'm not sure). Finally, since setting the tags and the Slimserver Settings have you done a clear and rescan? If you still have no joy, I think you will need to put albums in a single directory, but this is a fairly simple task using a tagging tools: just select all your tracks and then rename the files based on tags to, say, Various Artists\%album%\%tracknum% - %artist% - %title% and Bob's your uncle. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27746 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Duplicate Albums
I'm seeing this behaviour as well. I've just upgraded to 6.5.0 from 6.3.1 on Windows XP (sp2). I have a number of compilation albums spread across two or more disks. On the hard drive, they are structured thus: d:\music\flac\The Greatest Songs (Disk 1) d:\music\flac\The Greatest Songs (Disl 2) and each track is tagged thus: ALBUM = The Greatest Songs Under 6.3.1 I wanted these multi-disk albums to appear as one big album, (but still have the albums as their seperate CDs on the hard disk) so I made sure the tracks were numbered contiguously, such that track one on disk 2 would actually be numbered as the last track number from disk 1, plus one. This all worked correctly under 6.3.1. Now with 6.5.0, I get an album entry for each disk, regardless of how I set behaviour. This is a completely fresh install, and I've tried rescanning from scratch several times. My guess is that 6.5.0 introduces support for some further ID3 tags concerning compilation albums. Can anybody say what these tags are, or if this is indeed the case?

Only use the compilation=1 tag for various artists. For multi-disc albums, add a tag to each track DISCC=1 and DISCNUMBER=1 or 2 as appropriate. Note that these tags certainly work for flac and ogg. For mp3 you are probably better off using DISC instead of DISCNUMBER. I'd been using the 6.5 beta for a while prior to release and this works well.

kdf, Bingo! The files in question all had the Composer tag valued and that was causing them to appear in the artists list of albums and also the composers list of albums. I tried changing the setting under Behavior to not include composer, band and orchestra but that had no affect (even after clearing the cache). Only way to fix the problem was to clear out the Composer tag in all the files and clear the cache out and rescan the library.

Re: [slim] Re: Duplicate albums titles from tags
Quoting jwgraves [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is Slimserver truly reading the MP3 tags or does it create it's music database from the directory structure? yes, it definitely does use the tags. Only when no valid tags can be found, will it then use something based on directory structure and matching the patterns set in server settings, formats, Guess Tags. It is definitely a bug (IMHO) because when I view an artist, Slimserver will show an album that is not by that artist, all because in that album is a song title that also happens to be by the original artist. This is wrong and does not happen on any other music software I use (including portable music players). I'd suggest that you check your tags first. The server will look for other contributor tags, such as composer, band, orig artist etc. Those are included as 'artists' for the purposes of browse by artist and more. There is a server setting for this under server settings, behavior (I think, might be another tab). The setting is Composer in Artists. You may have to rescan (or even wipe cache) after changing this setting to reindex all the artist info from your songs. If you do eventually determine that this is now happening, please do file a bug report and attach the two files in question that highlight this effect. cheers, kdf -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Duplicate albums titles from tags
But if you constrain by both album and artist, you'll have 10-15 of each compilation cd, and some soundtracks. In this case, you'd need to have a tag specified for cdartist (Various Artists) or to somehow note that it is a compilation cd or multiple artist album. Or, you could rename the album to be more than just the common name, like Footsteps to be Artist - Footsteps. But this would make displaying look rather poor when it says Miles Davis - Footsteps by Miles Davis. There's not a very easy solution from a database perspective without a field that is album unique. If it doesn't come from the id3 tag it needs to come from the file/folder location. Going by *folder* giving each folder an ID# in the database, and everything in that folder is an album might work, but it would need to make sure you were at the lowest level of folders so someone with Music/A/Aerosmith/Toys in the Attic hierarchy is covered as well as people who have just Music/A/Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic or (heaven forbid) Music/Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic.

[slim] Re: Duplicate albums titles from tags
This is a problem that I had incurred when sharing the music library on my network with my Windows Media Center computer and its MY MUSIC portion of the GUI/Player. Windows MCE uses Windows Media Player on the back-end for its library (which acts somewhat differently than the plain ole Windows Medis Player itself). The issue of multiple album listings of a single album occurred when the ALBUM ARTIST field was empty OR was improperly populated by the artist of that particular song instead of a generic field like 'COMPILATION' or 'VARIOUS ARTISTS' Windows media center populates its album listing FIRST by the ALBUM ARTIST tag. Once this issue had wreaked havoc on my Media Center, the solution was as simple as going back through my compilations (and eventually the entire library) and making sure the ALBUM ARTIST field was populated correctly. Anything that was a soundtrack, I populated as 'SOUNDTRACK' in the ALBUM ARTIST field... same for TRIBUTE albums, COMPILATION, etc. This alleviated several issues with the way MCE listed ALBUMS: It solved the issue of having albums of the same title from a single artist mixed together with a single compilation album of the same title. It also alleviated the 'GREATEST HITS' issue as well as the issue of a 12-track compilation album being displayed as 12 separate albums of the same title. This extra field has saved my library in Windows Media Center and it seems that it may be of use with Slim Server. As an added precaution, in the case of a GREATEST HITS fiasco, I also named every common album title with an added Identifier i.e., GREATEST HITS: ARTIST in the ALBUM field.
