[SlimDevices: Ripping] Tagging Odd Singles question
Hi All If I explain my setup - it may help first On the Hard drive - I have the following directory setup Music --- The Beatles --- Album Name1 --- Album Name2 --- Odd Singles --- B52s --- Album Name1 --- Odd Singles etc etc So In the Odd Singles - I have singles which aren't in an Album - I don't believe it really matters where the tracks are physically stored on the hard drive it's all in the tags.. The Tags are set up on the tracks Artist : The Beatles Album : Singles - B Album Artist : Various Artists Compilation : 1 The same applies to other artists that start with the letter B.they all appear under the Album : Singles - B and the AlbumArtist is set to Various Artists When I do my rescan and view Albums = I see Multiple Albums called Singles - B - when I open that it is only showing the Odd Singles for the one artist.so I have an Album with the odd Beatles Singles in / one with B-52's etc etc In the Server Settings - My Music - I have Group Compilation Albums together selected.. I've read round and can't seem to work out whats wrong...once I get one Singles album sorted then I can replicate it to the other 25!

Album artist the Beatles compilation=0 , even if it is a compilation .

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Tagging Odd Singles question
Thanks for the response but won't that then give me multiple Albums called Singles - B but by each artist ? What I want to try and do is group all the odd singles by an Artist starting with B to go into that Album. Does that make sense?

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Tagging Odd Singles question
Unless things have changed with more recent versions of LMS, the problem is that your belief that file location doesn't matter is wrong in this case. The way it used to work -- I my belief is that it's still the case -- is that the tracks for a compilation have to be in the same folder to be treated by LMS as being from the same album. It's the Greatest Hits problem. So, to get the display that you want you would have to move all of those Singles - B tracks into the same folder. Or perhaps a little more elegantly, leave them where they are and use aliases or symbolic links to trick LMS into seeing them as if they were all in the same folder. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100279 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Tagging Odd Singles question
Ok so i found the link here : http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Permanent_symbolic_links on creating the link and I followed that and created a Symbolic link to the /volume1/music/B-52's/Odd Singles folder to /volume1/music/l_Singles-B folder. Navigated to l_Singles-B and hey the files showed up...now I thought I would add another directory so did the same mount -o command for /volume1/music/B.A. Robertson/Odd Singles to the l_Singles-B folder. Navigated to l_Singles-B and oh - the B-52's tracks have disappearedam now looking round to see if I can create links to link Multiple Source folders to Point to one. Any links people have found useful - please do share - appreciate the help so far.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Tagging Odd Singles question
Hi, since i was grown up in the 70' 80' i have a very huge bunch of 12'' Vinyls. And i always tag them as they should be. Cause the uk Version of some (most of) singles are different than some italian or german pressing. Sometimes just extended remixes or a completlty different tracksetup. And CDs from Japan (where i good friend works and do me some presents) are also other than german/uk ones. So in my opinion it doesnt make sense to get them together as they are different. But what has this todo with Hardlinks?

In the /volume1/music/l_Singles-B folder, make a link to /volume1/music/B-52's/Odd Singles. Call it something like B-52s. Then, in that same folder, make a link to /volume1/music/Beatles/Odd Singles and call it Beatles, etc. On second thought, this probably will not work, at least not as long as the original /volume1/music/XXX/Odd Singles folders are in the music library path. You would have to move them outside, or get LMS to ignore them by putting them in a hidden directory (eg, with a leading dot such as /volume1/music/B-52's/.Odd Singles). If none of that works, you may have to compromise on either (a) your folder structure, or (b) how you see your odd singles tracks presented in LMS. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100279 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
