Thanks, I had tried this a while ago with very mixed outcomes, mostly
because my tagging had been really spotty. I've given it another go.
Here's my experience just in case it helps anyone else.

Getting the tags right was a nightmare. Wrong ID3v2 version (just didn't
recognise things), then EasyTAG had set a numerical genre, which wasn't
understood, so I thought I'd try ID3v1 and it truncated half the titles!
When I finally got the tags right with ID3v2.3, I found that it took
multiple rescans to get LMS to accept the changed.

Finally there now and this does provide a fairly decent browsing
experience, but I still see them showing up in the normal "Artists" and
"New Music" lists. Is there any way to make these follow the "All Music
without Audiobooks" library view?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] The best way to keep audiobooks separate but still accessible?

2022-02-13 Thread OliWarner


Been using LMS for 15 years but have only recently started to pick up a
lot of audiobooks. These have been showing up in places like Random
Albums and artist lists and occasionally DStM has ended up playing a
random Harry Potter chapter or two. Enough's enough. They had to be more
separate.

So as they were already in their own directory, I unchecked its "Music"
checkbox in the Basic  Media Folders setting. That fixed all the
above, but now they're just really hard to use. I have to go through the
library folders route. I can't go to the book folder from a playing
track, so it's hard to queue up more tracks from the playing book. It's
not good enough either. Hitting serious WAF issues here.

I've seen many mentions of Multiple Libraries over the years. Has this
ever come to anything useful? Is there a good way to keep the two things
separate in modern LMS in 2022?
