[slim] Re: Slim splits CD into 2 or more Albums
I'm seeing the same problem after rescanning with 6.3.0 for what it's worth. Strangely, however, my Abbey Road is split in two, but with only track 17 in its own album. *Lots* of albums, not compilations, are split in my library now. Looks like I'll be calling Daniel... -- loneagle loneagle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26186 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yes, I'm using iTunes integration. YOu are right that it can cause Dups but I am not dealing with Dups here. The Dups that iTunes typically causes are songs being repeated (i.e. 20 songs showing up in an album that has 10 tracks). What I have is songs from a single CD being split into 2 different albums by Slimserver, without any duplication. -- oriordan oriordan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26186 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Re: Slim splits CD into 2 or more Albums
A good way to check for inconsistencies, and unusual tags in MP3Tag: select all the files in the album, and press Alt-T to get the list of tags. Check that the 'Album' and 'Artist' tags aren't shown as something like keep (which indicates that they aren't all the same) - it should be the actual album or artist, Also check that there aren't any unusual tags. Finally, check that there aren't multiple tag versions in the files: 1. Right-click the column headers, select 'customize' 2. Click on the new tag button, and put in: Name: Tags (or whatever you want) Value: %_tag% Field: %_tag% Sort by: (leave blank) You should get only one tag type in that column, for your files (e.g. ID3v2.3).

I also am not running MusicMagic. I've noticed that it's typically the last track on the album that's split off by itself, but I did check that the TOTALTRACKS count is correct. I was going to copy and paste the tag info into this thread but I don't think mp3tag lets me do it. Any other suggestions? -- oriordan oriordan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26186 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the suggestions. I did check to ensure there weren't any extra spaces or the like before my original post. Can you point me to an MP3 tag editor? This is not something I'm familiar with. -- oriordan oriordan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26186 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Slim splits CD into 2 or more Albums
http://www.mp3tag.de/ is another good one to have a look at. Also, are you running MusicMagic/MusicIP? I have found that this can sometimes cause problems for Slimserver (particularly if you have UTF-8 characters in your tags). If so, you may need to remove MusicIP's cache and rescan it. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26186 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
