Few hours later, that prevented me buying a copy of an album I already had, so I'm donating you the cost of that album. Interestingly, in past posts you didn't intend to support AlbumArtistSort, since it is an 'unofficial' tag, but is supported by SBS. This seems to work at the moment for me:- Album = "West Side Stoy" Compilation = "1" AlbumArtist = "Leonard Bernstein" AlbumArtistSort = " OST" sorts as OST in the midst of all my other soundtracks where AlbumArtist = "Various - OST" and AlbumArtistSort - " OST".

Hmm the fact that if you disable the TPE2 option and the result stays the same surprises me. When enabled, ACC will determine - for various artist albums only - how often an artist on the album occurs. This is because TPE2 is an deliberate entered tag by someone and hence must not be altered. If this is more than 1/3 this artist is expected to be the album artist. This logic is not rocket science of course but has proven to be doing its job almost perfect. ACC not doing so will result in SBS classifying if an album is a various artist album or not. SBS does so when more than one artist is defined in the artist tracks i.e. If an album has 10 tracks from which 9 are of artist1 and the last is by artist1 feat artist2 (both in artist tag) then SBS will classify this album as various artist album. Now when TPE2 is disabled, ACC will not perform any logics on this front so falls back to SBS logics. ACC does not alter any data besides 'various artists' to album artists. ACC does not change it the other way around i.e. artist albums to various artist. Let me know if my answer clarify the reason why things are happening for the Belly album. If not i'll dive into the problem again.

Hi Frank, I've been using ACC with the TPE2 option disabled and have tested with it enabled with the same result. What I can not understand is why is only happening with this specific Various Artist (Compilation) Album. There is a character of some tag there that is making ACC treat it differently.

Really happy with this. Is there a place for > donations on your site? Glad things are working out fine for you. The quality of the catalog has a direct link with the quality of the tags and tagging, especially intially, is not that much fun ;-) Maybe the folder structure I use can help you too: /Albums/Artists// /Albums/SeparateTracks/ Using this I set the ACC starting folder to /Albums/Artists. This way the catalog only includes full albums and not the separate tracks. For daily browsing usage on the squeezeboxes, I use Custom Browse from Erland. For this I have added the comment 'Full Album' to all albums within the folder /Albums/Artists/. This way you can browse only the full albums using custom browse without seeing all single file artist. You then also only have to focus all tagging effort primarily to the files within the /Albums/Artists/ folder structure.

Hi Tamanaco, For the ¡ or ¿ to appear in the artist name but exclude from sorting I need to add a column to the temporary ACC table. This however is quiet some work and may impact performance so this requires some more investigation. The Belly Dance various artist issue is indeed due to the fact that ACC determines for itself if an album is correctly defined by SBS as various artist or not.

Artist names starting with ¡ or ¿ should be sorted by the first char of the name, not by ¡ or ¿ (Tamanaco ?) http://acc.vanholt.nl/downloads/acc-v205-beta1.zip Thx in advance...

That certainly looks good. If you have used the IP number as listed above in the remote server option screen everything is ok as it is.

If you don't have the remote server settings configured, ACC will use the local installation of SBS. Now SBS may not be running but maybe MySQL is. ACC will then retrieve the data from the local MySQL database instead of the remote. Considering the huge differences in both album and track count this seems very likely. To determine if this is the case try one of the following: 1. deinstall SBS on the local machine. ACC will not be able to retrieve any data and hence ACC was using the local DB 2. disable MySQL on the machine where ACC is running. ACC will then not be able to retrieve data and hence was using the local DB 3. Configure remote server settings in ACC. For this however you first need to modify the my.tt file on the readynas box to allowe remote access to the database. I don't know how this must be done on a readynas box as I don't have one. Maybe others users can help here a this configuration has been used many times. An easy solution maybe to enable SBS on the local machine, configure it to scan drive M: and then run ACC against the local DB (ofcourse don't configure the remote server settings). As a new scan will get the DB up to date with the readynas DB I don't think you will see any differences between ACC en SBS on the readynas anymore. regards, Frank -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xRadio, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SC, Denon PMA-1500AE + DacMagic + Monitor Audio Silver RS8 = :-) SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73284 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When I run ACC, the files ACC creates open in Internet Explorer. If I use Windows Explorer to locate the files they show as "Firefox files" and a double click will open them in Firefox. Is there a setting somewhere in the PC that I need to change to make ACC open the files in Firefox? I had the same behaviour in the previous version of ACC. Any help would be appreciated, as I plan to get rid of IE in the near future. It's far too buggy for my liking.

I'm wondering if this isn't an SBS issue, as my iPeng shows some albums without the name, but as a list of Disc 1 Disc 1 Disc 1,etc. (All the albums DO have a Disc# tag, but so do the ones that read fine...)

This means that if you are using the ORIGYEAR tag, in SBS the value of the ORIGYEAR tag is mapped to all the normal year-fields in SBS !!. AAC is then also using the ORIGYEAR value. In my opinion, this a good behaviour. If however an album has different ORIGYEAR values (for instance in compilation albums, I set the ORIGYEAR tags of the individual tracks), AAC will take the ORIGYEAR value of the last track of the album (= mostly the youngest year).

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v2
One more observation for you. I'd be interested in what you think. I have some albums with 2 years in their tags. For example Queen - Queen II. The original album was 1974 but later there was a US Hollywood Records Release with some remixes from 1991. I have the later album but did not want all tracks labelled 1991, so tracks 1-11 are 1974 and 12-14 are 1991. In the QuickRef the album gets labelled 1991. Is it possible to either get it labelled with the year that most tracks are (ie 1974) or have both years displayed? Obviously if you start displaying multiple years then compilations should be excluded as these have the possibility of having many years (if you date the track not the album as I do) CW -- Chunkywizard *Squeezebox:* Boom x2 (Lounge and Kitchen), Radio *Squeezecenter:* 7.4.2 for Windows Home Server (HP EX-475 MediaSmart Server with 2GB RAM upgrade) *Plugins:* Dynamic Playlists 2.8.1 | SQL Playlist 2.5 | Music Information Screen 4.4.5 | Custom Scan 2.7.4 | TrackStat 2.10 *Remote:* iPod Touch Gen. 1 running 'iPeng' (http://penguinlovesmusic.de/2008/11/25/ipeng-application-now-on-app-store/) Chunkywizard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73284 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Did you try Bullzip PDF ? To create a PDF you have to do the following: 1. Install Bullzip 2. Generate a Catalog with ACC 3. Do a print preview and narrow the margins. Remove the header and footer that is added by Internet Explorer/Firefox/Other 4. If the page breaks are not at the correct positions (albums break up in the middle or blank pages are added) you have to adjust the print pagination settings in the advanced options and repeat steps 2 and 3. Once figured out the settings are remembered end never to be looked after again. The default settings are ok for A4 paper size with 'use large track font' disabled. 5. Finally, Print the catalog and select the Bullzip PDF printer (or Acrobat printer if you use Adobe Acrobat). A file location for the PDF will be asked and the PDF is created. It will not open up automatically as ACC has no knowledge of the filename you have chosen. Does this help you?

Hi there, I asked the same thing of Frank (via email) and was told: "This is a know Microsoft bug for which there is a hotfix available from Microsoft. ACC only calls the API to create the .MHT file. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891019 Microsoft has made a fix for it which you should be able to download through the link on the top. besides this, there seem to be more problems related to .mht file usage.

Vista does not have a default magnification factor so either you have configured this in Windows or you have configured a larger than 100% Internet Explorer zoom factor as default setting? I'll create a fix to make the window sizable. I'll post it later this evening.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v2
I'm having a problem with the UI in V2.0.3. The initial window (attached) seems to be a fixed size and it cuts of the bottom of the form. I have two workarounds: 1. tab to the missing fields and they come into view as the window then scrolls; or 2. adjust the font size with Ctrl/-, which makes the bubble help unreadably small. The Options and Advanced Options screens have the same problem. I'm running Windows Vista with a 1680x1050 display, IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.7. The program itself (in the limited use I've given it) seems to work well and it will be very useful as I finally get my music all uploaded to the server. Thanks!

You are probably using Windows 7? Bill has decided to set the display to 125% of its normal size causing many application (especially web based apps) with font sizing issues. I have not found a way yet to reduce this by code for ACC only and I don't think there is a way to do this. If the screen layout does not look like the screenshots on the ACC download page, position your mouse on the ACC screen, hold CTRL and use the scroll wheel to reduce Bills magnification factor. I'll create an automatic popup when Windows 7 is detected with this message. About the codec in the table of contents, in my opinion the TOC should only include main data referred to, not meta data. The codec info is however included (if selected) in the Quickref catalog. Does this address your issues?

I see, I was looking at the "options" interface. Is there a way to get back to the "main interface" after you enter the options? I could not find a way to get back to the "main" (start page interface) What I meant was to restrict the "Display codec information" and "also display bitrate" options to the content page(s)only. -- tamanaco tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73284 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You can set the position where it should appear in the main interface. Options are Left, right or on the bottom.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v2
Thanks Frank, 2.x has some great improvements. I have another "cosmetic" suggestion. Would it be possible to either restrict the codec and bitrate information to the table of content? If not, when selected, can this information be placed to the right of the Artist and Album names (headers) in the main body of the Album Catalog?
